Brain Snacks

Eight puzzle games sharing one app and one set of stars. Some evenings you want to think hard. Some evenings you just want to find the word COFFEE in a grid of letters. Both count. WHAT YOU GET • Dot Knot - join up the pairs and fill the grid • Sudoku - no timer anywhere, take as long as you like • Minesweeper - you will never have to guess • Nonogram - 105 hand-drawn pictures, numbers in, picture out • Memory - a picture for every pair • Lights Out - switch them all off in as few taps as you can • Flood - fill the board before the moves run out • Word Search - in English and Finnish NOBODY HAS TO GUESS Every board is checked before it reaches you. The sudokus have one answer and you can always reason your way to it. The minesweeper fields never come down to a coin flip at the end, which is the bit that makes most of them infuriating. Stuck? A hint points at a move you could make. It does not make it for you. A LITTLE EVERY DAY There is a daily puzzle in every game, a few goals each week, and a streak worth keeping. Miss a day and it quietly offers the streak back instead of making you start again. If the early levels feel too easy, practice mode hands you endless boards at whatever difficulty you like. THINGS TO UNLOCK Colour themes, five different ways the game celebrates a solve, and a few backdrops. All earned by playing. None of it for sale. WHAT WE LEFT OUT No lives. No energy bar. No "come back in three hours". No account, no sign-up, nothing to subscribe to. Nothing you have to buy to finish a puzzle: hint packs are there if you want them, and hints can always be earned by playing. Ads keep out of the way. Now and then a short one sits between two levels - at most every fifth level, never in the middle of a puzzle, never in your first game of the day - and goes away by itself after a few seconds. The others are ones you choose to watch in exchange for something. One purchase removes the ones between levels for good. EASY TO READ The board colours work if you are colour blind, and you can put numbers on the dots so colour is never the only thing telling them apart. If you have turned animations off on your phone, the game leaves them off. Works on a plane, on the metro, and in the one corner of the house with no signal.

A gentler start: the first twenty levels of every game are now chosen by hand and get harder step by step. Memory starts with four pairs, Lights Out with a single tap, Sudoku with more digits given, and Word Search's first grids each have a theme. Also fixed: a streak could break on the night the clocks change, plus smaller fixes.
