Cadence breaks the mould by combining puzzle-solving with music creation. Whether you're a logic lover, creative explorer, or aspiring musician, Cadence offers multiple ways to enjoy yourself. Play: Logic Meets Melody No musical experience or rhythm necessary! Use logic and patience to solve increasingly clever puzzles that reward you with beautiful, zen-like melodies. Start simple, working up to mind-bending challenges that'll have you saying "Just one more level..." Create: Make Some Noise The level editor transforms Cadence into a full music creation app featuring programmable synths, drum machines, and preset libraries. What sets it apart is graph-based sequencing: arrange up to four tracks using the same logical tiles from the game, which feels more like play than work. This approach generates emergent musical patterns that feel both intentional and surprising. Ideal for music-making beginners or experienced composers sketching new inspiration. Sandbox: Program the Impossible For those who love to tinker and experiment, Cadence's Turing-complete logic system goes deep. Build simple patterns or construct elaborate musical contraptions— perfect for programming enthusiasts who don't let "whether you should" stand in the way of "whether you could"? ===== Cadence is a labour of love, crafted by a single developer over 12 years. I'm thrilled to see what you'll make!

Layer the colors, let them flow, and gather ten to watch them bloom. Kasane is a calm puzzle about stacking colored tiles on a hexagon board. HOW TO PLAY - Place the stack in your hand on any empty cell - When neighboring stacks share a top color, the tiles flow together - Gather 10 of one color and they drift away like petals - Clear again as colors regroup to build a Kasane chain for bigger scores - Soft arrows show where colors will go before you place MODES - Score: play until the board fills and chase your best - Today's Seed: a fresh 30-move deal every day, once a day KASANE COLORS Eight palettes inspired by the layered robes of the Heian court: Plum, Willow, Cherry, Kerria, Maple, Chrysanthemum, Under the Snow and Pine. A Japanese pattern mode lets you tell colors apart by pattern, too. MADE FOR QUIET PLAY - Play offline - No timers. Leave anytime and pick up where you left off - Layouts for iPhone, iPhone Duo and iPad - Records stay on your device. No account needed
