Follow the overlaps, work out which stick can move safely, and clear the pile one careful choice at a time. A wrong move costs a heart, while an optional hint can reveal a safe choice when you need a nudge. Features: • 40 handcrafted levels with steadily increasing challenge • Top and free-view cameras for inspecting every angle • Simple touch controls designed for short, focused sessions • Hints, medals, and locally saved progress • Core puzzle gameplay available offline • English and Simplified Chinese No account or sign-in is required. Game progress stays on your device. Pick a Stick contains third-party advertising.
Foldway
Read full descriptionHide full description
You hold a sheet made of coloured squares and holes. Tap a line and the smaller side folds over the bigger one. The top colour shows, and the holes reveal what is underneath. Fold in the right order to match the target pattern above. The levels are bound into fifteen notebooks of twenty. Early notebooks need only a few folds. Later, two-sided paper reveals a different colour when flipped. In the ninth notebook, tracing paper lets you mix red, yellow and blue into new colours. • 300 levels in 15 notebooks • Gradual difficulty and free practice guidance • Colour-mixing tracing paper and two-sided sheets • Hints, undo and restart • A daily puzzle, streaks and achievements • Offline play with no account or ads One fold. A thousand ways.
