Slide colorful bricks to matching gates, swap to match three, and clear your way through 2,000 puzzles. OutBrick brings a different kind of block puzzle to your day: thoughtful moves, playful surprises and a whole Journey of toy-brick villages, with no timer rushing you. Whether you enjoy sliding puzzles, color sorting or match-3 games, each board invites you to look, plan and try a fresh approach. Play a few levels on a break or settle in for a longer puzzle session. Every level plays offline. SLIDE, SWAP AND MATCH • Drag a brick toward open space and choose where it stops. Guide it through a gate of its own color to remove it from the board. • Swap neighboring single bricks to match three or more of one color. Unmatched swaps bounce back without spending a move. Shaped pieces slide, never swap. • Make bigger matches to create rockets, bombs and rainbow bricks. Combine their effects to open space and set up your next move. • Think around long, big, L and T-shaped bricks. A shaped piece moves as one and needs a gate wide enough to fit. A PUZZLE TO THINK THROUGH Work out which brick to move first, which gate to reach and how to free a crowded corner. Crates, moss, chests and other obstacles change the way a board opens up. Move limits give each puzzle a goal without a countdown. You can pause to consider a route, put the game down and come back at your own pace. Hidden bricks and covered rooms add discovery as your Journey continues. Sometimes the best next move creates room for a later one. Hints and optional boosters are there when you want a helping hand; they are tools to choose, not a requirement to buy your way through the game. 2,000 LEVELS, 167 VILLAGES Follow the Journey through villages built stud by stud from toy bricks. From Garden City to Clover Farm and beyond, each place gives your progress a home. Earn stars, return to earlier puzzles and keep exploring. Your completed levels and purchases stay with your saved progress when you update. MEET FIVE BRICK FRIENDS Pix, Luna, Brix, Nova and Max accompany your adventure with visual animations and text bubbles. They celebrate each clear without character voices. MORE REASONS TO RETURN • Three daily Missions give you goals alongside your Journey. • The Daily Brick reward adds a little celebration to your first clear of the day. • Explore the Brick Pass and its free reward track. • Take part in weekly events and seasonal celebrations. • Compare your progress through Game Center leaderboards and achievements. PLAY WITH VOICEOVER Explore bricks and the board through accessible descriptions and actions. VoiceOver helps communicate position, shape and the information available to the player; a hidden brick stays hidden rather than having its color revealed. Color symbols help distinguish pieces without relying on color alone. Adjust the experience with accessibility options and your device's display and motion settings. PLAY ACROSS YOUR APPLE DEVICES Play on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV and Apple Vision Pro, with progress synced through iCloud. Apple Watch has its own sliding edition. Widgets, Live Activities, Siri, Shortcuts and iMessage stickers extend the experience. FREE TO START, CLEAR ABOUT CHOICE OutBrick is free to play, with optional in-app purchases for coins, boosters, packs and other extras. Lives and move limits are part of the game. Rewarded videos are optional and started by you: there are no banners or automatic interstitial ads between levels. An internet connection is needed for purchases, video ads and online services, but not to play the levels. Optional game analytics is off by default. You can choose whether to share it and change your choice in Settings. Declining does not restrict your gameplay, rewards or purchases. Questions or ideas?

Waveform is a one-thumb arcade game inspired by quantum physics. Are you a wave or a particle? It depends on the wall. HOW IT WORKS? • Wavy wall? Pass it as a WAVE • Flat wall? Pass it as a PARTICLE • Tap anywhere to switch. That's the only control BANK BEFORE YOU'RE OBSERVED Every wall you pass grows your score multiplier from ×1 up to ×5. Swipe down to bank it. Wait too long and the Observer collapses your state: when a 5-4-3-2-1 countdown inside your character reaches zero, your mode flips by force. Greed pays, until it doesn't. A NEW REALITY EVERY 25 POINTS The world changes color as you climb. Fourteen hand-picked palettes appear in a different order every run, from sunny yellow to deep vacuum black. FEATURES • Pure one-thumb gameplay, easy to learn, hard to master • Rising difficulty with surprise double walls • A fair Observer: clear countdown, safe-moment flips and an optional Relaxed mode • Climb the worldwide Game Center leaderboard and unlock achievements • Fully playable on Apple Watch, no phone needed • Optimized for iPhone and iPad, in full screen • Haptics, background music and reactive sound, each with its own switch • Remove ads with a single, one-time purchase (also gives you a free continue each run) Short runs, instant restarts, one more try. Can you bank it before you are observed?
