About

Yarn Blop

Features
Read full description

Unravel giant knitted circles by matching color spools into active holding slots. In Yarn Blop!, your objective is to select spool pegs from the lower board in precise sequence, sending thread lines upward to pull matching yarn rings directly off the board. Precision and slot capacity control determine your success. Placing a spool without corresponding yarn colors in the active rings fills your holding slots, leading to an immediate stall. Navigate frozen spools, covered mystery pegs, and multi-layered circular knit designs that demand smart visual strategy. Unwind every yarn layer to clear the board completely.

About

Sand Up

Features
Read full description

Sand Up is a relaxing 3D sand sorting puzzle where colorful objects melt away piece by piece. Rotate the object, tap matching color pieces, and turn them into flowing sand. Fill bottles, complete sets of three, and clear each target as the sculpture slowly disappears. Plan your moves carefully. If a color has no matching target, its bottle moves into temporary storage. Keep enough space open, manage your colors, and finish the whole object before your slots fill up. Simple to play, satisfying to watch, and full of colorful sand-clearing fun.
