Dotmame Flow is a relaxing yet challenging puzzle game where you connect matching dots to fill the entire board without crossing the lines. Featuring hundreds of handcrafted levels, daily puzzles, hints, and smooth gameplay, it's designed for both casual players and puzzle lovers. Easy to learn, satisfying to master.

A relaxing logic puzzle where your goal is to divide the board into separate territories using a limited number of wires.

Connect points around the border to draw wires across the board. Each wire divides the playing area, and every resulting territory must contain exactly one colored dot.

The number shown in the header tells you how many wires you have available for the level. You must solve the entire puzzle without exceeding this limit, so every connection matters.

Plan carefully before placing a wire. A poorly placed wire can create the wrong territories or leave you without enough wires to complete the puzzle.

How to Play:

• Connect two border points to place a wire.
• Each wire divides the board into new territories.
• Each territory must contain exactly one colored dot.
• You have a limited number of wires for each level.
• Use all your wires strategically to create the correct divisions.
• Use Undo to correct a move or Restart to start the puzzle again.

Levels become progressively more challenging with more dots, more possible connections, and increasingly complex ways to divide the board.

Plan your wires, separate every dot, and find the correct solution!

Last Ride – Taxi Horror

You’re a taxi driver working the night shift. At first, it’s just another ordinary night — picking up passengers, driving through quiet roads, and trying to make it through your shift.

But as the night goes on, things start to feel wrong.

A strange passenger. An unexpected detour. A broken-down car. A lonely gas station. And a road you probably shouldn’t have taken.

What begins as a normal taxi ride slowly turns into something much darker. As you explore different locations and interact with the people you meet along the way, pieces of a disturbing story begin to come together.

Last Ride is a short, story-driven first-person horror game focused on atmosphere, exploration, and mystery rather than constant jumpscares. You’ll drive through dark roads, explore locations outside your taxi, interact with characters, solve small puzzles, and uncover what happened on this particular night.

The game was created as a solo indie project over roughly 10 months, from the initial idea and story to the environments, gameplay, interactions, and final release.

If you enjoy short atmospheric horror games with a mysterious story and a cinematic feel, take the night shift and see where the road takes you.

Just remember...

Not every passenger is what they seem.

Topple Town is a physics puzzle game. You place bombs to topple wooden block structures and knock down the Blockheads, while trying not to destroy the town below. Levels are short and there's a city map that rebuilds as you clear them.

It's in open beta on Google Play now and I'm looking for feedback before the full launch — particularly on the first few minutes. Where the difficulty curve feels wrong, whether the goal is clear without being told, anything that reads as unfair rather than hard.

Topple Town was solo created. I'm a veteran game artist with over 25 years in the industry — including AAA work at Relic Entertainment and EA — and I founded Dappled Studios to build smaller, more personal games where art and design lead the way. Everything I make starts with aesthetics and feel: inviting worlds, thoughtful interaction, and satisfying feedback, obsessed over down to the little details that add up to real polish. I make everything myself — concept, art, design, implementation, and release. Topple Town is in open beta on Google Play now, with full launch imminent and iOS to follow.

Together

Game Overview

Together is a 2D pixel-art platformer where you control two characters at the same time using a single set of controls.

Every movement affects both characters. When you press jump, both characters jump. When you move, both characters move. The challenge comes from figuring out how to use this shared control system to navigate obstacles, avoid traps, and bring the two characters together.

Each level ends with a heavy door that cannot be opened by one character alone. To progress, you must solve the level and position both characters close to each other so they can open the door together.

The core idea is simple:

Two characters. One set of controls. One way forward: Together.

Gameplay

The gameplay focuses on platforming, puzzle-solving, timing, and positioning.

Players will need to:

• Control both characters simultaneously.
• Navigate platforms and obstacles.
• Avoid traps and environmental hazards.
• Figure out how to separate, move, and reunite the characters.
• Use the level layout to solve each challenge.
• Bring both characters together at the right place to open the exit door.

There is no traditional separate control scheme for each character. The challenge is learning how to make one action work for two characters, even when the level puts them in different situations.

Worlds

Together features three different worlds, with each world introducing its own visual style, level design, platforms, traps, and environmental challenges.

World 1

The first world introduces the core mechanics and teaches the player how to think about controlling two characters at once.

It focuses on:

• Basic platforming
• Simple environmental obstacles
• Introduction to the shared-control mechanic
• Learning how to position both characters together

World 2

The second world expands on the main idea with more complex level layouts and new hazards.

It introduces:

• More challenging platform sections
• New types of traps
• More demanding timing and positioning
• Situations where the two characters must take different paths before meeting again

World 3

The third world pushes the core mechanic further with its own visual identity, unique hazards, and more difficult platforming challenges.

It focuses on:

• More advanced level design
• More difficult traps and obstacles
• Precise movement and timing
• Combining multiple mechanics to reach the final door

What Makes Together Different?

Together is built around a simple but unusual control concept: one player controls two characters simultaneously.

Traditional platformers usually ask the player to focus on one character. Together turns that idea into the main puzzle mechanic.

A jump is no longer just a jump. Every movement has consequences for both characters, and players must constantly think about where each character will end up.

This creates situations where the player may need to:

• Move one character into position while managing the other.
• Use platforms and level geometry to control both characters indirectly.
• Avoid obstacles that affect one character differently from the other.
• Find a route that eventually brings both characters back together.

Game Feel

Together aims for a simple, readable, and fun 2D platforming experience with a pixel-art visual style.

The game is designed around the satisfaction of:

1. Seeing a difficult level.
2. Understanding how the two characters need to move.
3. Experimenting with different approaches.
4. Successfully bringing them together.
5. Opening the door and moving on to the next challenge.

Target Audience

Together is designed for players who enjoy:

• 2D platformers
• Puzzle-platformers
• Pixel-art games
• Casual but challenging games
• Short, replayable levels
• Games built around unique mechanics

Two characters. One set of controls.

Elevator Pitch

Together is a 2D pixel-art platformer where you control two characters with the same controls. Solve each level, avoid unique traps and platforming challenges, bring the characters back together, and open the heavy door to continue your journey.

Gameplay & Mechanics Your primary goal is to connect all target nodes back to the starting node, satisfying the exact edge requirements of each target. However, just when you think you have mastered the logic, the rules evolve. Our core design philosophy is continuous cognitive adaptation. Almost every new level or biome demands something new—introducing unique constraints, shifting logic paradigms, and forcing the player to think entirely outside the box. There is no reliance on luck; every move requires calculated strategy.

Key Features Continuous Cognitive Adaptation: The puzzles don't just get harder; they get different. Every stage introduces new constraints that force you to rethink your entire approach. Zero-Luck Mechanics: A purely logic-driven puzzle experience demanding spatial intelligence and strategy, where random guessing will not save you. Deeply Satisfying Feedback: Custom, high-quality audio and smooth visual transitions that make solving complex structures incredibly rewarding. Evolving Bonus Levels: Special challenge stages that twist the established rulesets, offering the ultimate logic test for hardcore puzzle fans. Fair Progression: An intuitive hint system designed to gently guide players through the toughest knots while preserving the satisfaction of solving it themselves.

Wickgrid is a grid deduction puzzle built on three rules. Numeric clues tell you how many cells to light around them. Every lit cell has to connect into a single chain. And no four lit cells may ever form a 2x2 square.

That's the whole ruleset. You'll have it in under a minute, and it still produces boards that take twenty.

One puzzle a day

Everyone gets the same board, and every board is verified by a solver to have exactly one solution reachable by logic. No guessing, ever. Difficulty climbs through the week, so Monday is a warmup and Sunday is an Extreme. Build a streak and watch the month fill in on the heatmap.

When you want more

Practice mode generates unlimited boards at any difficulty. Undo a move at a time or clear the board and start fresh. Three free hints on every puzzle, and you can reveal the solution if you're truly stuck.

Challenge a friend

Send any puzzle you've solved as a link. Your friend plays the exact same board and sees your time to beat.
