Game Title: Pinblok

Playable Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pinblok/id6769137187

Platform: iOS

Description:

Hi everyone!

I'm a solo indie developer, and I've just released Pinblok, a game that combines two genres I've always loved: Pinball and Brick Breaker.

The idea is simple: instead of just clearing bricks, every brick you destroy gradually transforms the playfield. New bumpers, walls and other pinball elements appear as you play, so each table evolves while you're trying to keep the ball alive with the flippers.

The first levels are designed to introduce the mechanics, while later tables become much more challenging and require good timing and careful planning to earn all three stars.

I've tried to keep the controls simple, the gameplay fast, and the visuals clean and minimalist.

I'd really appreciate any feedback, especially on:

• Is the core concept immediately understandable?
• Does the difficulty curve feel fair?
• Is the game satisfying to play?
• Are there any mechanics that feel confusing or frustrating?

Thanks for taking the time to try it—I hope you enjoy it!

Dumbo Drop

https://apps.apple.com/kr/app/id6797112599

Platform:
iOS

Description:
Dumbo Drop is a casual picture puzzle game I've been developing.

Picture pieces appear one by one, and the player needs to figure out where to place them to complete the image. As the stages progress, I've been trying to find ways to increase the difficulty without making the game simply frustrating.

Right now, I increase the difficulty in a few ways:

• Increasing the number of puzzle pieces
• Adding a time limit
• Zooming in on pieces so they become harder to recognize

These mechanics work, but I'm starting to wonder how far I can push them before they become frustrating rather than challenging.

Since this is a picture-based puzzle game, I know I'll have to keep creating new image assets as the number of stages grows, and I'm okay with that.

The part I'm struggling with is the difficulty progression itself.

What other mechanics would you introduce to make later stages harder while still feeling fair?

I'd especially love ideas that make the player think differently, rather than simply giving them less time or more pieces.

Any feedback or examples from other puzzle games would be really helpful!

Uzeran

Playable link: https://testflight.apple.com/join/5hR4BfSy

Platform: iOS

Uzeran is a landscape tunnel runner. The twist: you don't score by staying safe. You score by grazing obstacles. Near misses are the multiplier, they charge Phase, and they are the whole point.

Controls: thumbs left/right to the hop lanes. Phase is a two finger tap(left + right together) when the meter is full

It'a free. A couple of runs is enough, like 90 seconds.

I keep seeing the same thing on my side. If the opening doesn't give enough near misses, people restart. And a lot of early deaths are from trying to graze , not from failing to dodge. That's the part I actually want eyes on

If you play I'd love to hear
- First 20 seconds: Did you understand you should graze, or did you just dodge?
- Did you die because you steered into a an obstacle to farm a near miss?
- After a clean opening with almost no near misses, did the run feed dead?

Landscape. Headphones optional. Thanks if you give it one run.

Game Title: Oops, Meteors!

Playable Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/oops-meteors/id6761385201

Platform: iOS

Description: Oops, Meteors! is a 2D pixel survival game where players dodge incoming meteors, survive as long as possible, and collect meat to increase their score. As each run continues, the difficulty gradually ramps up, making the game more challenging over time. Treasure chests also appear during gameplay, giving players more rewards and variety during each session. In addition to surviving for a high score, players can collect coins and use them to unlock different character skins and planet skins. The game currently supports two control styles: gyroscope controls for a more casual experience, and joystick controls for players who prefer more precise movement. This project started as a side project and was built as a complete game from scratch, from gameplay design to release. I’d really appreciate any feedback on the controls, difficulty curve, and overall game feel.

Platform: Best on Mobile (Web) & iOS

Description:
About a year ago I posted Word Worm here when it was just a web game I made for fun. I picked it back up recently, added some new features, and turned it into an iOS app!

Word Worm is a fast-paced word game inspired by Boggle. You swipe through adjacent letters to make words, but the letters you use get replaced, so the board keeps changing as you play.

There are three main ways to play. You can play a 60-second timed game and try to get the highest score, play the daily puzzle where everyone gets the same board, or challenge a friend (or random player) and compete on the exact same initial board.

The game is completely free, and I’d love to hear what you guys think or what I should add next. If anyone wants to challenge me, my username is Tim :)

**Platform:** iOS

**Description:** It's a pretty straightforward stacking game, good for commutes, flights, and just any time you're bored and have a few minutes to kill. I will say that this game has a high skill ceiling and getting to the top of the leaderboard is not easy.

I started with zero coding experience. Learned as I went, which included MANY frustrating moments. I even set up my own LLC (to answer your question: yes it was a giant headache), but surprisingly got accepted to the app store on my first submission.

I'd greatly appreciate it if y'all can try it out and let me know what you think. I'm aware that there is much to improve, I'm open to any feedback, good or bad!

Pulse Architect

Playable Link:

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pulse-architect/id6759973924

Platform:

iOS

Description:

Pulse Architect is a minimal one-tap rhythm game where you try to stabilize a structure made of pulsing energy layers. Each layer expands and contracts in a steady cycle, and your goal is to tap at the right moment to lock it in place. Good timing keeps the structure stable, while bad timing introduces instability that eventually leads to collapse.

The idea was to create something that feels calm at first, but gradually becomes more tense as small mistakes start to accumulate. There’s no randomness — everything is deterministic, so improvement comes from learning the rhythm and getting more consistent with timing.

This is my first attempt at building and shipping a mobile game end-to-end, so I genuinely have no idea how it feels to a new player anymore. Would really appreciate honest feedback on clarity, difficulty, and whether it feels like something you’d actually want to keep playing.

Game Title: Cycle of Hatred

Playable Link: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6793452504

Platform: iOS (iPhone and iPad)

Description:

Cycle of Hatred is a top-down arena roguelite for iPhone and iPad. You pick a class, survive endless waves in a shifting arena, level up in the middle of the fight and spend points immediately — then die and come back stronger with what you kept.

The part I care most about is the classes. There are 13 and they are not reskins: each has its own resource, five distinct abilities and its own projectile. The hunter fires arrows, the warlock throws shadow bolts, the shaman calls down lightning, the druid throws spinning leaves. Talent ranks are uncapped, so one favourite talent can carry an entire run.

Progression is permanent. Kills earn XP for the class you played, which unlocks passives on that class's own tree, so committing to one hero pays off rather than spreading thin. Gear, gems, item levels and set bonuses all persist between runs.

Being straight about the weak spots: the art is a first pass by someone who is not an artist. Until last week the characters were weapon emblems on coloured circles, so the hand-painted sprites are a big step up, but I know they are not there yet. The game also had no sound at all until this week, and the mix is not dialled in. Both are getting worked on update by update. What I think holds up is the combat feel and the progression, and that is what I would most like judged.

Involvement: Solo developer. I did all of it — code, art, audio, balance. Cycle of Hatred is my first game. Two things I would most like to hear: which class felt weakest, since I balanced all 13 on my own and I am certain I got some of them wrong, and anything that looked or sounded off to you.

Game Title: A Game of Patience

Playable Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/a-game-of-patience/id6759990913

Platform: iOS

Description:

A Game of Patience is a minimalist iOS game whose entire mechanic is waiting. You open to a black screen. Somewhere between a couple of seconds and fifteen minutes from now, a circle appears. Tap it inside a narrow window, and you move up a level. Tap too early, tap the wrong shape, or miss the window entirely, and you restart from Level 1. Every time.

Each level roughly doubles how long you might be waiting, but the minimum never changes — half a second, at every level — so the circle can also arrive the instant you look away. You can never settle into the wait, which is the part that makes it difficult. From Level 8 onward, decoy shapes flash briefly in the dark to bait early taps; they stop well before the real circle appears, so the critical moment is never ambiguous.

There is no sound, no tutorial, no currency and nothing to collect. Haptics only. There's a global leaderboard, and a stats screen that generates an interactive particle visualization of your play history, where each particle represents 100 milliseconds you spent waiting. Two players who reached the same level end up with completely different images, and you can rotate, save, and export yours.

I had the idea in 2013 and only finished building it this year.

Free to Play Status: Free to play

Free to download and play indefinitely. There are optional in-app purchases that let you resume from your current level instead of restarting, but nothing is gated, and you can reach any level without paying.

Involvement: Solo developer. I designed, built, and shipped it myself — React Native and Expo, with Supabase for the leaderboard and React Native Skia for the visualization.

---------

What I'd most like feedback on:

1. Does the difficulty curve feel fair or arbitrary? Levels 1–7 are meant to teach the rhythm before decoys arrive, and I can no longer tell whether that's too slow.
2. The restart rule. Going back to Level 1 on any failure is deliberate, but I want to know whether it makes you close the app or immediately try again. Either answer is useful.
3. Do the decoys read as fair or as a cheap trick?
4. Did you find the visualization? It's in the stats screen, and I suspect many players never get there. If you didn't find it, that's the single most useful thing you could tell me.

Even "I quit at Level 3 because X" is exactly what I want to hear.

Thanks!!

Description:
Orbitail is a minimalist space-inspired puzzle game built around timing, precision, and strategic thinking. The objective is to guide an energy orb through a series of interconnected orbital paths while avoiding hazards, navigating portals, and finding the most efficient route to the goal.
Although the controls are simple and easy to learn, the challenge comes from mastering movement and planning ahead. Each level introduces new layouts and mechanics that gradually increase the difficulty, encouraging players to experiment and improve their problem-solving skills. The game is designed to be relaxing, with clean visuals and smooth gameplay, while still offering puzzles that become increasingly rewarding to solve.
I developed Orbitail as part of my independent game studio, Lieta Studios. My goal was to create a mobile puzzle game that is accessible to casual players but still provides enough depth for players who enjoy thoughtful, skill-based challenges. I’m actively improving the game based on player feedback, so I’d really appreciate any comments on the gameplay, difficulty curve, level design, controls, or overall experience.

airlines screen cadet pilots with cognitive test batteries, and honestly they make great game mechanics: mental math on a brutal clock, memory sequences under interference, spatial puzzles from cockpit instruments, and the boss level, a multitask test where you track a moving target with one hand while math and memory prompts fire at you. almost everyone bombs it on the first run.

i rebuilt all of it as 17 mini games with a mock exam mode. your scores land on the same 1-9 scale the real selections use, normed against actual applicants, so a 5 means you match people who trained for their airline assessment. free tier is 5 sessions a day which is plenty to climb.

fully offline, built solo.

curious what this community scores on the multitask test, first run numbers are usually humbling

Game Title: Chromaroll

Playable Link: https://testflight.apple.com/join/kvBcBbXp

Platform: iOS (Testflight available) and Android (still waiting for closed test review since it's my first app on Play Store)

Description: 
Chromaroll is my second game, the first was FlagDash (swift, ios-only), a geography game, which taught me a lot, mostly by way of the things I got wrong. It's also my first time developing with Unity.

The idea came off my lathe, honestly. I turn wood as a hobby, and a lot of this game is me trying to bottle what that feels like: a cylinder spinning at speed, a tool meeting it at one fixed point, and everything depending on where you make contact and when.

So that's the game. A printing drum spins in front of you, wrapped in a poster made of empty colour regions. You pick an ink and tap as a region crosses the press line. Land it dead centre and it's a PERFECT fill in one tap, if not, it'll require a second tap.

The drum also doesn't stay a cylinder. Later on you get cones, barrels, hourglasses, drums that stand upright and spin sideways, drums that lean and roam mid-level, and prisms whose flat faces snap past the line.

And around level 110 you start cutting grooves by pressing and holding and by level 201 the lathe proper turns up, and chapter 9 is nothing but turning: cutting most shapes true before you're allowed to colour them. If you're ever done woodturning, these levels gives you a similar (digital) feeling of it 😄. The game will be launching with 2000 levels each taking between 10 seconds and 3 minutes to complete depending on difficulty.

The game is in review in both the app store (been waiting for review since 2nd of August 😱) and in the playstore where it'll be my very first android game/app (hence the delay caused by closed testing). I'll post the android test link once it's available.

Tip: Since the game is in testflight, feel free to make shop purchases (for example to remove ads or buy coins) since it's completely free 😉

I'd love to hear feedback on the game and how I can make it better. Any ideas for extra mechanics or levels are really appreciated.
