A logic puzzle under a desert sun, told in huge words. Paint cells with cool shadow so every number sits on a sunlit block of exactly that many cells, each block holds one number, all the shadow joins into one shape and no 2×2 square of shadow appears.
Dawn · 5×5 · the packs
Eight packs, one per grid size, each named after a desert word. Every pack holds eight grids, and three solved grids open the next pack. Tap a pack word and it unfolds into numbered tiles.
Mesa · 6×6 · stars and times
One to three stars per puzzle and the fastest time for each, all kept on the Records screen.
Dune · 7×7 · tools as words
The tools sit along the bottom as words: one paints shadow, Sun marks sunlit cells with a small diamond, then Undo and Hint. Tap a cell or drag along a row.
Kiln · 8×8 · Zen
Endless calm grids from the generator, sized 5×5 to 9×9. No clock, no stars, and Skip whenever you like.
Adobe · 9×9 · the race
Pass-and-play for two on one phone. Rose solves a grid against the clock, the grid is hidden while the phone changes hands, then Clay solves the very same grid. Each hint adds 15 seconds and the faster time finishes first. A rematch brings a fresh puzzle.
Canyon · 10×10 · records
Fastest times for every pack and a race history of up to 20 rows, with both times and the leader marked.
Mirage · 11×11 · the moving scene
A giant sun word scrolls past, heat haze rises, sand drifts and the sun breathes. Switch this animated background off in Settings for a still frame; haptics, rules and a progress reset sit there too.
Zenith · 12×12 · badges
Twelve badges mark the climb to the largest grids. Plays offline, no account needed
