WallBalls is a fast puzzle game about drawing a line in the right place at the right time. Balls bounce around the board. You swipe to build a wall. If a ball hits the wall before it is finished, the wall breaks. That is the whole game, and it gets hard quickly. TWO WAYS TO PLAY ISOLATE Trap every ball in a room of its own before the 30 second clock burns out. Each level adds a ball. DOMINATE Wall off the board piece by piece and leave the balls as little space as you can. You have five lives, and every broken wall costs one. FIVE POWER-UPS • Bolt: walls build fast • Sun: one more life • Magnet: drag the balls where you want them • Flame: burn one ball • Clock: stop time for 5 seconds NEW IN 2.0 • A complete redesign: a sharper board, pixel art power-ups and clearer menus • Built for current iPhone and iPad screens • No ads • English and Spanish Game Center leaderboards for both modes.
Ripple Runner

You can't move the orb directly. You can only send waves. Ripple Runner is a minimalist physics puzzle where every tap creates an expanding pressure wave. When the ring touches the orb, it pushes. Your job is to read the geometry, time the pulse, and guide the object into the target — using as few taps as you can. It's a game about restraint. About one perfect tap instead of three panicked ones. THREE WORLDS, ONE PHYSICS — The Void: a glowing orb drifts through dark, geometric space — The Scroll: an ink drop bleeds across aged parchment — The Pond: a single leaf floats on still water, leaving a quiet wake The puzzle is the same. The feeling is completely different. WHAT'S INSIDE — 90 hand-crafted levels across 6 chapters — Story Mode with a single undo per attempt — Precision Mode: no undo, weekly leaderboards — Endless Mode: how far can one orb travel? — Daily Challenge: one new puzzle every morning, global ranks — 3-star rating on every level — par the pulses, master the level DESIGNED FOR CALM — No timers. No ads. No energy bars. No forced waits. — Plays beautifully offline, on the train, in airplane mode — Original generative ambient music for each world — Plays silently and feels just as good ONE-FINGER PLAY, INFINITE DEPTH The control is a tap. The depth is in the timing — when the ring is expanding, where its edge will meet the orb, how the falloff weakens the further it travels. Beginners clear the first chapter in an afternoon. Mastering Chapter 6 takes weeks. A puzzle game for people who appreciate that the smallest interface hides the deepest game. Built by a small studio. No tracking, no third-party SDKs beyond what's needed to keep your progress synced. Tap. Breathe. Solve.
