Get ready for a journey full of challenges in Railroad Swap! Help Mat, an adorable train-driving cat, build the tracks needed to guide his train to the final destination. But be careful: the available pieces aren't enough to complete the entire route, so you'll need to think beyond the tracks!

On a hexagonal grid, select, rotate, and reposition pieces to build the perfect route. Along the way, you'll find swap tiles that let you assign colors to tracks or empty spaces. When the train passes over them, their positions are swapped, transforming the board and revealing new possibilities for continuing the journey.

Shardwatch Dominion is a classic top-down tower defense game set in circular arenas. You protect a central fortress and its glowing crystals from waves of enemies that attack from every direction.
Every decision matters: where you build, what you spend crystals on, and which upgrades you take between waves. Placement and resource management decide whether the fortress holds.

Grab your spray can and step into a colorful adventure in Spray Trace! Control a talented graffiti artist and move through each environment, painting the tiles along your path. But you can't just paint everything you see: each color has an exact number of tiles that must be filled!

Move across the environment in four directions and carefully plan your routes. Every tile you pass over is painted with your current color, but retracing a path already painted with the same color makes the paint disappear, allowing you to correct part of your route and discover new solutions.

Along the way, you'll find sprays in different colors. Collecting them permanently changes your paint color, completely transforming the possibilities of the level. Choose when and where to change colors, and think a few steps ahead to avoid leaving paint where it shouldn't be!
