Paw Shield: Hive Heist
Draw one continuous magic-ink shield, outsmart relentless bees, and protect Pip across 100 handcrafted garden puzzles.

HELIOGRAPH — Signals Across the Iron Valleys
The line went dead at Cold Hollow and you are the new signal-keeper. Turn brass mirrors to walk a beam of sunlight across a hand-drawn valley and into the receiving station — then learn to split white light through a prism into three colours for three valleys, to husband a beam through fog that drains it, and to arrive on the beat while army shutters open and close. Twenty-four stations across five chapters, every one machine-proved solvable, with an honest par and a quiet score of plucked strings and glass bells.

Ladybug Lifeline Relay Remix
Help Pipit, a ladybug mountaineer, draw a single safe silk lifeline and guide twenty-five seedling riders from the gold departure spool to the green leaf gate. The complete original puzzle system remains: 80 campaign routes across eight chapters, a daily route, a 90-second rush, moving hazards, route efficiency, three-star mastery, hidden loopback endings, hints, undo, and offline saves.

玉锁连环 · Jade Unlock
玉锁连环:C 形玉环彼此交叠,镶钻金戒指扣在交叠处。按住戒指沿玉环圆周滑到缺口即可取下,任一端玉环点亮才能通过,两枚皆锁死则卡死记失误;取下后另一端玉环亮起,形成连锁解扣。含双扣戒指(需取两次)、种子化关卡生成、收纳槽与最佳成绩记录,横竖屏均可用触屏单手游玩。

PALE HOLLOW
A Limbo-inspired, grayscale silhouette puzzle-platformer. A boy wakes in a forest of ash and must cross seven hollows — jumping spike teeth, threading a swinging blade, riding out a howling wind, and pushing a crate to unlock a pale gate. Hold "hush" to slow time and thread the hazards. Hand-authored level, synthesized ambient sound, no build step.

SIGNAL & NOISE
A cryptanalysis campaign on a bakelite desk of working instruments. Twenty-four intercepted messages, six families of cipher, and a frequency counter, substitution board, Vigenere slide with a Kasiski drum, transposition grid, three-rotor KESTREL machine and crib bench to break them with. Every slip is a real, solvable puzzle with one deterministic answer: read the day's brief, take the promised crib, form a hypothesis and watch the clarity meter rise as the plaintext comes out of the noise. No trivia, no luck, no hidden information — only deduction, and a green lamp over the work.

SUMINAGASHI — The Floating Ink
Suminagashi is the ancient Japanese art of marbling ink on still water, made playable. Drop concentric ink rings, comb the surface into flowing waves, and draw a stylus through the water to open blossoms — then lift the paper to capture your print. A meditative fine-art puzzle built on a real deterministic marbling engine, with twelve master prints across three chapters and a free studio.

PORT OF SALT
Work a gantry crane on a salt-stained quay. The load hangs on a rope, so every move you make on the trolley comes back as a swing you have to settle before you can land. The manifest is strict — reefers need powered bays, heavies go on the bottom, hazard boxes ride on top — and the tide will not wait. Eight shifts, from a morning coaster to a night gale.

Aldane & Son — Locksmith
You keep a corner locksmith shop in a 1934 city, and the whole trade is in your hands. Locks are real pin-tumbler simulations shown as brass cutaways: hold torque with one thumb, probe with the other, feel which pin binds, ease it to the shear line and hear it click home — yank past it and the stack sprays back down. Eleven locks escalate from a worn practice padlock through wafers and security spools to a warded chest and a safe you crack by ear. No timing bars, no alert meters. And whose door you open, or refuse, is what the street remembers.

Bosphorus Blast
Aim the Golden Horn cannon, break supports, and trigger spectacular 3D collapses across 80 Turkish carnival stages.

Vantage
Turn the world until the gaps stop existing. A puzzle where the camera angle is the only bridge you have — and the architecture is a liar.

Tangram Terrace
The classic seven-piece tangram in a Suzhou paper-craft garden — 60 hand-authored silhouettes across six chapters, magnetic snapping, star timings, hints, and a free-play sandbox, all cloud-synced.

Pixel Match Quest
A dependency-free HTML Canvas match-3 puzzle with objective levels, obstacles,

Harvest Hollow
Dig through layered card stacks, collect garden targets, and clear clever triples across 96 handcrafted portrait puzzles.

Fortress Fling
Pull back the slingshot and let fly! Smash through wood, shatter glass, and topple stone fortresses to pop every green pig. 8 levels of physics destruction — from simple sentry posts to the mighty Fortress.

Shadow Escape
Shadow Escape is a dark, anime-inspired 2D side-scrolling action-platformer. Guide a shadow ninja who can split from his ghostly shadow to slip through energy gates, trigger hidden switches and solve puzzles, then fight 4 unique bosses across 20 progressively harder levels while unlocking 5 abilities.

Jade Bangles
Untangle painted jade bangles: slide each one out of the sleeves that hold it. 48 levels, a different stone each.

جواهر النيل
لعبة تطابق جواهر ثلاثية بطابع المصري القديم: طابق ٣ جواهر أو أكثر في صف أو عمود لتجمع النقاط وتتجاوز أهداف المراحل، مع سلاسل مزدوجة، رشقات حساسية، وهدف لكل مرحلة قبل نهاية المحاولات. تعمل باللمس على الجوال والحاسوب، وتدعم الاتجاهين.

TIDEPOOL
Tend a rock shelf through a season of tides. Algae feeds limpets, limpets feed crabs, mussels filter the tide and starfish work through the mussels — and nothing on the shelf crosses a channel unless you carry it. Three interventions a tide, and the tide goes further out every day.

LOOPMUSEUM
The gallery runs on a ninety-second loop. Guards walk the same route every time, cameras sweep the same arcs, doors open on the same seconds. You are the only thing in the building that remembers the last loop — so watch one, learn it, and take the whole job in the next.

RINGFALL
A salvage tug in the rings of the gas giant Halde. There is no forward out here — only faster and slower, higher and lower, and a tank measured in delta-v. Plan a burn on the pad, watch your projected ellipse change in real time, commit, and make the rendezvous before the window closes.

Tablet
A broken cuneiform archive is on your desk, and the only tool is a lamp. The wedges are real height-field relief: rake the light across the clay until they resolve into signs — too high and the surface goes dead, too low and it drowns. Twelve tablets escalate from a six-sign school list to a damaged lament in three pieces. Join fragments by break edge, ruling and scribal hand, then decipher. Signs are polyvalent, so there is no key — only hypotheses tested against an attested lexicon and the fixed shape of a genre. A wrong reading gives you plausible nonsense; a right one lets someone speak.

Word Bloom
Spell words from six letters on a wheel — but every word must include the starred ★ middle letter, which stays pinned at the bottom of the wheel through every shuffle. Find all the words that share the key letter to fill the answer list, and use all six letters for a pangram.

Photon Orbit Etching Table
Etch genuine Schwarzschild light paths and file three truth-gated optical-film studies.
