Lost in deep space without friction or tether — can you calculate the trajectory back to safety? Orbit Grid is a tactical zero-gravity sliding puzzle game where every directional swipe sends your astronaut gliding continuously across the cosmos until an obstacle, another crew member, or a designated docking pod halts their drift. Beware: with no boundary walls, a single miscalculated thrust can send your crew drifting into the deep void! KEY FEATURES: • ZERO-GRAVITY TRAJECTORY ENGINE: Master momentum and inertia. Slide up, down, left, and right, calculating stop points and coordinating precise paths across dense orbital grids. • TWO-ASTRONAUT TACTICS:: Coordinate multiple astronauts (Orion & Nova). Maneuver one crew member to act as a dynamic stopping block for the other to reach previously unreachable docking coordinates. • PROGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN: Advance through diverse orbital sectors ranging from compact 5x5 tactical drills up to massive, brain-bending 9x9 void labyrinths. • PRECISION & O₂ CONSTRAINTS: Plan ahead to beat the PAR move count and conserve critical oxygen supplies. Earn stars by executing flawless, optimal routes. • MINIMALIST SCI-FI AESTHETIC: Immerse yourself in clean vector visuals, atmospheric space ambient soundscapes, and intuitive tactile swipe controls. No clocks, no timers — pure tactical logic. Chart your course and bring your crew home.

Tap Brick Out is a color-sorting brick puzzle with one simple rule: every brick leaves through the wall of its own color. Tap a red brick and it slides up. Yellow slides down, green goes left, blue goes right. If the path is clear, the brick is gone. If another brick is in the way, nothing moves - and the move is still spent. So the puzzle is never "which brick", it is "in what order". HOW IT PLAYS - Tap a brick to send it toward its matching wall - Red up, yellow down, green left, blue right - A blocked brick stays put, so read the board before you tap - Clear every brick before the moves run out 1,000 LEVELS - 1,000 levels, from four-piece starters to dense walls of interlocking bricks - Hard and Super Hard boards are marked before you start one - Every board is checked by a solver, so every level has a real solution - All levels ship inside the app - nothing to download before you play THREE BOOSTERS - Hint: points out a brick that can leave right now - +3 Moves: when you are one tap short - Hammer: smash a brick that is in the way NO TIMERS Nothing is racing you. A level ends when the board is clear or the moves run out, so you can take as long as you like on a single tap. Portrait, one hand, short sessions. Play a level while the kettle boils, or sit down with a Super Hard board and work it out properly. Tap Brick Out is made by Narcade.
