Tilewake is a sliding puzzle with living pictures. A tile in its own place wakes up and its piece of the scene starts to move; a tile out of place sleeps, still and grey. The last move wakes the whole picture. A JOURNEY THROUGH 12 PAINTED WORLDS A koi pond, a lantern river, a coral reef, a mountain sunrise, a balloon festival, a desert night, a rainforest, a snowy village, an orbit in space, a lighthouse, an autumn windmill and a sunflower field. Each world has its own sounds that come in as its tiles wake, and a finale when the last tile does. 60 BOARDS, 3×3 TO 5×5 Every board has a par and up to three stars, and four more shuffles to replay it. A new world wakes after three boards of the one before. A DAILY PUZZLE A new 4×4 picture every morning, the same for everyone, with a streak to keep and a result to share that spoils nothing. A Home Screen widget shows today's picture and your streak. FREE PLAY Any scene at any size from 2×2 to 6×6, or a puzzle made from your own photo. CALM BY DESIGN Hold to peek at the whole picture, show numbers on the tiles, choose a sound style and a music track, or keep the pictures still. Leaderboards and 15 achievements in Game Center. FREE TO PLAY The first two worlds, the daily puzzle and 3×3 free play are free. One purchase unlocks every world, every size and your own photos. No ads, no subscription, no accounts and no tracking. Requires iOS 17 or later. Also on Mac: one purchase unlocks Tilewake on every device.
