Build & strategise:

Little Lights A flock of tiny light-bearers marches into the gloam. Spend a handful of Waylights, wind-kites, ribbon looms and glass-chimes to shape safe roads and guide enough motes to each dawn bell.

Bridge Wars Command the Hearthbound across a floating bridge. Read the rival line, deploy the right counter, tune your sky-forge, and race through four strange ages before the Gloam reaches your flame.

Glow Tank Tend a pocket garden beneath the glass. Feed luminous bellkin, sweep up their light, grow a tiny colony, recruit shell-backed wardens, and tap away the dusk mites before the heartkelp fades.

Fix-It Café Run a tiny repair café through a rolling blackout. Seat guests, diagnose their broken gadgets, route each job across the spark, gear and shine benches, and deliver before anyone loses patience. Earn coins, buy upgrades, survive eight nights.

Spore Quarantine A spore bloom is spreading across the isles and the Council is watching. Survey the ones you can't read, fund labs toward a cure, route supplies, and seal the worst lanes — all while the wind carries the bloom downwind and public trust runs out faster than funds.

Flood Town A weather-station district is underwater and the Beacon has gone dark. Send your small crew out to scout, drain and rebuild the drowned blocks, hold the levee against rising surges, and relight the Beacon before the Great Surge arrives.

Clan Dice Take the moor one hex at a time. Stack your cairns, read the odds, and raid a neighbour by out-rolling their runestones. Your income is the largest unbroken stretch of land you hold, so push hard but keep your clan connected — and gang up before any rival runs away with the map.

Word Bugs Trace a path across touching letters to spell words and strike the ink pests crawling over a living page. Every pest shows its hit and the beats until it strikes, so you choose what to spell and who to aim at. Five chapters, longer words hit harder, and a five-letter word leaves a charged tile behind.

Shoestring Arrive in Muddlecombe with $25 and three weeks to chase one dream. Work, study, train, make friends and take the odd risky shortcut, one carefully spent hour at a time.

Arena Champion Train an arena contender through twelve turn-based duels. Read your rival's next move, parry quick cuts, smash guards, step out of reach of heavy blows, and win the crowd on the way to the laurel.

Lemon Stall Run a tiny street-corner drinks stall for a fourteen-day summer fair. Read the forecast, buy lemons, sugar, ice and cups, mix a recipe, set a price, then watch the street decide, and learn from a hindsight chart of what every price would have earned.

Island Trader Captain a courier boat between five island markets. Buy a good where it is cheap, carry it to where it is dear, read the harbour talk, and beat the tide, the customs cutters and a loan that grows every day.

Birodalmak (Empires) A 3D hex-map 4X you can actually drive with two fingers: pan, pinch to zoom, twist to rotate.

Brewing Disaster You and a rival wizard share one cauldron. Every card you play pushes its putridity up or down, and whoever forces it to 13 or 0 first loses — all played with a single tap on a card.

Capture Go Simplified Go on a 9x9 board - capture any opposing stone group first to win.

Caro Board (Gomoku) Get five in a row before your opponent - play a friend locally or a responsive CPU.

Checkers Classic Checkers/Draughts with a clear select-then-move control scheme, a real AI opponent, and local two-player mode.

Civis Build cities, research technology, and manage diplomacy on a hex grid against up to three AI opponents, in this open-source Civilization-style 4X.

Dodecadragons A finished, tap-to-mine idle clicker about raising dragons.

Dominoes Tap to select a tile, tap the highlighted end to place it, and try to out-block an AI that actually plans ahead.

D Dragon Tax Return SimulatorDesktop by Matt Walsh

Drop Four Classic Connect Four against a genuine AI, a friend on the same device, or watch two AIs face off.

Four in a Row Drop coloured pieces into a seven-column grid and line up four before your opponent does — offline vs a friend, vs AI, or watch two AIs play.

Konkr Legacy Tap to conquer a procedurally generated hex kingdom, Slay-style, against six AI factions and a marauding bandit clan.

Little Dig Game Send workers down to strip a planet bare for the company, one pixel of dirt at a time. Beware of interlopers.

MedievalWarDesktop Move units across a grid, manage HP, and plan attacks in this free Fire Emblem-style tactics game.

Missile Defense A Missile Command-style city defense game -- tap or click to launch interceptors, timed to meet incoming missiles (including juking 'smart' missiles and splitting MIRVs) before they reach your cities. Confirmed real physics-timed interceptions on both touch and mouse.

Orbitswarm A Galcon-style real-time planet-conquest RTS -- your planets grow ships over time, drag from one to another to send a fleet, and capture neutral and enemy worlds before the AI does. Confirmed real planet captures on both touch and mouse.

Wall Go Move a stone, build a wall, and carve the 7x7 board into territory before your opponent walls you in.
