A gentle tile-sliding puzzle about guiding light across a flooding coastline.

We play mobile indie games ourselves and tell you what actually clicks and what falls apart after ten minutes. No press-release copy, just notes from people holding the phone. Come for the reviews, stay for the odd little gems you'd never find on the front page.
No half-hour skim reviews. If we score a game, someone here played it properly, usually past the point where it stopped being fun.
Nobody buys a spot in our catalogue or a higher number. Money and scores never touch.
Every review is written by a person who remembers the annoying level and the moment it finally clicked.

Build tiny machines out of folded cards to solve escalating logic contraptions.
A quiet exploration story about tending a garden that only grows in radio noise.
Run a tiny space-station kiosk for travellers who each want something oddly specific.
A one-thumb endless runner across shattering bridges over a fog sea.
A branching story about repeating the same ordinary day until you notice what matters.
After a month of downloading everything, the games that stuck were the ones that did one thing and stopped.
The mechanic is everywhere now, so here's how to tell the clever ones from the lazy ones.
Put on headphones for these, because playing them on phone speakers is missing the game entirely.
A free download can still cost you your patience, so here's what I check first.
Someone on the team has to genuinely want to keep playing it past the first session. We download a lot and only write up the ones that hold our attention. There's no schedule quota, so if nothing grabs us in a given week, we simply don't force a review.
No, and they can't. We buy most games ourselves, and when a developer sends a free key we say so in the review. The score is never affected by money, keys, or how nice the emails were.
Yes, please do. Email us with a link and a line about why it's worth our time. We read every suggestion, though we can't promise to cover everything, since we only write about games we actually finish.
We run some basic ads to cover hosting, and they're always kept separate from the editorial. No advertiser sees a review before it's published, and no one can pay to change a score or a ranking. If that ever changes, we'll say so plainly.
