Why us

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.

Battery and size

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

Offline first

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

Ads and purchases, measured

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

Big Bass Splash
Simulation

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

★★★★☆ 4.0
Tile Harbour
Puzzle

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

★★★★★ 4.5
Garden Floor
Casual

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

★★★★☆ 3.5
Paper Routes
Strategy

Draw delivery lines across a growing town. Quiet, clever and unforgiving later on.

★★★★☆ 4.0
Stone Lines
Puzzle

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

★★★★☆ 3.5
Quiet Harbour Tales
Adventure

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

★★★★★ 4.6

Editor’s pick

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

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.

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.

Can I republish your reviews?

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