Start here: every game below is hosted locally, works with touch controls and saves its high score or progress on the current device. The fastest way to learn each one is to play a short run, then return to the focused tips below.

Garden Rush

Garden Rush turns the popular plant-and-upgrade loop into a compact browser session. Choose a seed, tap an empty plot to plant it, tap once while it grows to water it, then tap again after the progress bar fills to harvest. Carrots are cheap and fast, while tomatoes and pumpkins need more coins but return a larger reward.

  • Fill several plots with carrots before saving for expensive seeds.
  • Harvest mature crops within a few seconds of one another to build the value chain.
  • Upgrade water speed first when you play actively; choose market value when you prefer larger harvests.

Block Bloom

Block Bloom is an 8×8 placement puzzle. Select one of the three available pieces, then tap the cell where the piece’s top-left corner should land. A complete row or column disappears immediately. You receive another set only after all three current pieces have been used, so the order matters.

  • Keep the centre flexible instead of filling it with awkward single cells.
  • Place the hardest or largest piece first, then use smaller pieces to repair the board.
  • A move that clears both a row and a column is worth more and also creates more room.

Merge Orchard

Merge Orchard uses six vertical stacks. Tap a column to drop the next fruit. When the top two fruit in that column match, they combine into the next level; a new match can trigger another merge immediately. The next three fruit are shown above the board.

  • Use neighbouring columns for the two fruit levels you receive most often.
  • Do not build every column to the same height; preserve one or two escape columns.
  • Check the full three-fruit preview before choosing where the first fruit should land.

Screw Sort

Screw Sort begins with mixed coloured screws and two empty trays. Tap a source tray, then tap a destination. A screw can move to an empty tray or onto a screw of the same colour. The puzzle is complete when every non-empty tray contains four screws of one colour.

  • Treat the empty trays as temporary workspaces rather than permanent colour trays.
  • Expose repeated colours before committing a tray to one colour.
  • Use Undo immediately after a move that blocks both empty spaces.

Parking Rush

Parking Rush is a sliding-vehicle puzzle. Tap a vehicle to select it, then move it with the on-screen arrows or keyboard arrow keys. Horizontal vehicles only move left and right; vertical vehicles only move up and down. Clear the exit lane, move the red car to the right edge and press Right once more to leave the board.

  • Work backwards from the vehicle that directly blocks the red car.
  • Moving a long vehicle often requires clearing the cells at both ends first.
  • Restarting is useful when several temporary moves have trapped the main blocker.

Neon Obby Run

Neon Obby Run is an endless obstacle runner. Tap the canvas or press Space to jump, then jump again in the air for a second boost. Shift or the Dash button gives a short burst that can smash an obstacle and recover a difficult run. Gaps, walls and floating drones become harder as the speed rises.

  • Save the second jump until you know whether the next obstacle needs it.
  • Dash through a wall only when the cooldown indicator says it is ready.
  • Follow energy-orb arcs: they often show a safe jump path over the current challenge.

Arrow Flow Escape

Arrow Flow Escape is a 60-level tap-away logic puzzle. An arrow leaves only when the entire line in front of its point is empty. Every successful removal opens new routes, while blocked taps reduce your star result without permanently damaging the puzzle.

  • Check edge arrows first because their routes are quickest to confirm.
  • Rescan a row or column immediately after removing one of its blockers.
  • Use the full Arrow Flow strategy guide for dense 6×6 and 7×7 boards, star rules and Hint/Undo advice.

Hexa Stack

Hexa Stack is a honeycomb merge puzzle. Tap a stack of tiles, then tap a stack of the same colour or an empty cell to move it. Matching stacks combine their counts, and a stack that reaches ten clears for points. Every merge drops new tiles, so keep clearing tens before the board fills.

  • Prefer exact tens: a perfect ten scores more than an over-shoot clear.
  • Clear two groups in a row to start a combo that boosts later rewards.
  • Keep a few empty cells as breathing room and avoid leaving lonely high-value stacks.

Nova Strike

Nova Strike is a neon space shooter. Move your glowing ship with the mouse, touch or arrow keys while it fires automatically. Blast spinning enemy shapes into particle explosions, dodge the bolts that hexagonal enemies fire back, and grab the spinning Nova power-up to clear the whole screen in a shockwave.

  • Keep a kill streak alive without taking a hit to grow your combo multiplier.
  • Shoot down fast triangle drones before they slip past the bottom of the screen.
  • Save the Nova for a crowded wave — it clears every enemy and pays out their points.

Steel Commando

Steel Commando is a run-and-gun platformer inspired by classic Contra-style action. Run right with A/D or the arrow keys, jump with W, Space or Up and aim with the mouse while your commando fires automatically. Grab weapon capsules for Spread, Rapid and Laser fire, cross the pits and destroy the Iron Colossus boss at the end of the stage.

  • Hold jump longer for extra height; release early for quick short hops.
  • Press Down and Jump on a raised platform to drop through it.
  • Spread and Laser shred the boss, and every gunner or turret can drop a weapon capsule.

Heroes Duel

Heroes Duel is a turn-based card battle inspired by classic Chinese hero card games. Pick a hero, learn your secret role — Lord, Loyalist, Rebel or Traitor — and battle three AI rivals. Play one Slash per turn, Dodge incoming attacks, heal with Peach and use Duel, Dismantle, Steal and Plenty trick cards to outplay the table.

  • Protect the Lord if you are the Loyalist, hunt him if you are a Rebel, and survive to the end as the Traitor.
  • Slash only reaches adjacent seats unless you equip the Bow.
  • Track who attacks whom in the log to deduce hidden roles.
