About

Deck Diner Pocket

Read full description

Deck Diner Pocket is a landscape card puzzle collection set around a bright retro-futuristic food truck. Every order starts with a complete 52-card deck: ranks, suits and full pip layouts stay visible while you build hands, plot pantry routes, choose ingredient packs and finish daily kitchen shifts. Four connected modes ask for different kinds of planning: - Order Stack: build requested hand patterns and exact rank totals for a queue of customers. - Pantry Path: connect adjacent cards across a 24-tile prep grid while working around locks, one-way belts, suit gates and required spice cards. - Combo Lunch: choose an ingredient pack and three rule modules that change draw order, hand size, discards and scoring before a service run. - Chef Daily: play a local date-seeded challenge with fixed orders, restrictions and a personal best that stays on your device. The modes share one clear card language, but the decisions stay distinct. Ingredient packs shift suit and rank distribution. Rule modules reshape risk and reward. Route obstacles change how a finished hand is assembled. Early orders introduce ranks and suits; later shifts combine layered requirements, route planning and deck strategy. Designed for landscape play across iPhone and iPad, Deck Diner Pocket runs entirely offline. Progress, unlocks and best scores are stored locally. There are no purchases, chips, betting, cash prizes, sweepstakes, loot boxes or real-world rewards.

About

Potionbound Atelier

Features
Read full description

Potionbound Atelier is a sunlit greenhouse puzzle about arranging botanical materials until their scents connect. Each customer brings a recipe with three requirements: strength, elements, and an aroma path. Place material faces on the workbench, rotate them to direct fragrance through neighbouring spaces, and build a lattice that satisfies the order. Push a blend too hard and side effects appear; nearby herbs, purifiers, and greenhouse companions can soften the result. EXPLORE THE ATELIER - Follow 48 story orders across four bright conservatories. - Solve 24 fixed-material Recipe Puzzles with step limits. - Take on a Daily Market challenge with a set material order. - Meet 24 customers with their own small stories. - Collect 60 recipes, 36 botanical material faces, and 18 decorations. - Discover new rooms with Mossi, the tiny axolotl who lives in a glass teapot. Aroma Lattice is built around position and connection. Strength values, element notes, rotation, neighbouring edges, and scent routes all matter. Every order asks you to read the workbench as a whole instead of chasing a single number. Play offline at your own pace. There are no ads, energy timers, loot boxes, or purchasable boosts.
