Why us

Offline first

Every review says plainly whether the game works on a plane or a train without signal.

We finish what we start

A review only goes up after at least a week with the game, not after ten minutes of the tutorial.

Ads and purchases, measured

We count how often ads interrupt play and what the paid version actually removes.

Battery and size

How much space it takes and how quickly it drains a phone — both are in the review.

Big Bass Splash
Casual

A slow gardening game with real waiting. Fine in short visits, tedious in long ones.

★★★★☆ 3.5
Tile Harbour
Puzzle

A calm match puzzle with a harbour to rebuild between levels.

★★★★★ 4.5
Stone Lines
Puzzle

A minimal line puzzle with a thousand levels and very little else.

★★★★☆ 3.5
Night Bakery
Simulation

Run a small bakery through one night. Short shifts, warm art, no energy bar.

★★★★☆ 4.0
Quiet Harbour Tales
Adventure

A gentle point-and-click adventure set over one summer in a harbour town.

★★★★★ 4.6
Lantern Street
Adventure

A short story game about a night shift in a small town. Two evenings long.

★★★★★ 4.5

Tile Harbour
Puzzle

Tile Harbour

★★★★★ 4.5

Tile Harbour is the rare match puzzle that does not push you towards a purchase every second screen. Levels are short, the difficulty curve is gentle for the first fifty stages and then turns properly demanding.

  • Works fully offline
  • No timers between levels
  • One-off purchase removes ads
  • About 180 MB installed

Questions & answers

Why are there no scores out of ten?

A number without an explanation tells you nothing. We give a short verdict instead, and say who the game is for.

Do you accept payment for reviews?

No. We buy every game and every in-app purchase we write about, and we do not run sponsored posts.

Do you review paid games?

Yes, and we prefer them. A game you pay for once usually treats your attention better than a free one.

Can I republish your reviews?

A short quote with a link is fine. For anything longer, write to us first.
