3. 👗 Mode

Style it. Share it. Shine.

The daily styling game for teen girls 13-17 — the standalone Dress to Impress. Every day an AI fashion editor sets a new theme; you dress your muse from a sketch-art wardrobe in the Studio (tap-to-equip over a hand-drawn SVG mannequin — no photos or uploads exist anywhere), then send the look down an ANONYMOUS runway where votes go to outfits, not popularity. Winners are crowned at midnight; the #1 look earns the unbuyable Winner's Laurel. The community board speaks only in preset captions and preset compliments — there is no text box, so there is nothing mean to type. Friends join by exact handle only: no discovery, no DMs, no follower counts. Free is a full game (18-piece core wardrobe, daily challenge, voting, board); Mode Muse ($7.99/mo) opens the couture closet, all backdrops, star votes and 20 AI style tips a day; a $7.99 season pass unlocks drops through PLAY; item packs $1.99-$4.99 once.

Pick winners on REAL games (NFL, NBA, Premier League, MLB via free public scoreboards; results auto-scored), build private friend leagues with live standings, and talk trash in an AI-refereed chat that allows banter but blocks bullying. Points are pride: streak bonuses, earned badges (the Winner's trophies can't be bought), AI commentator-voiced pick questions, and a commissioner's AI season recap.

EVERY SOUND IS SYNTHESIZED IN THE BROWSER by a Web Audio engine: no audio files, no uploads, no licensing, works offline on school Chromebooks.

One seed. One run. Every night.

A daily-seed roguelike deckbuilder for adults 18-30 — the daily-ritual format (NYT Games' 10M+ daily players) fused with deckbuilder depth (Balatro's 5M+). Every player worldwide gets the EXACT same procedurally-generated run each day from a global seed: one attempt, no redos, ~15-25 minutes. Navigate a branching node map, fight turn-based card combat, draft cards and relics, and beat the boss — all deterministic from the seed and server-validated (the server re-derives the seed's maxima to bound-check your score, so scores are authoritative). End with a Wordle-style share grid for the group chat, ranked on a global leaderboard and against friends. Free: the daily run forever, basic stats, 5 friends, share grid.

7. 🍔 Scramble

Order up! Try not to burn the place down.

A 4-player non-horror physics-comedy co-op cooking game for adults 18-30 — the silly, streamable answer to the horror-saturated co-op market (Lethal Company, REPO). Host a shift, share a 4-letter code (Jackbox-style), and cooperate in a top-down React-Three-Fiber kitchen to fill increasingly absurd AI-generated food orders ("Burger, extra pickles, and a side of existential dread") before the chaos meter hits 100% and the kitchen catches fire. Built-in proximity voice chat (WebRTC) makes your friends’ panicked shouting louder as you get closer. Server-authoritative shift state (orders, scoring, chaos) so scores can’t be faked. ONE-TIME $7.99 — NO subscription, ever; optional $2.99 cosmetic packs (skins/emotes, never pay-to-win). A free demo (1 level, 1 chef, no voice) is always available.

8. 📰 Scoop

Call it. Prove it. Scoop the room.

A ZERO-REAL-MONEY friends prediction league for adults 18-30 — the compliance-safe lane real-money social betting (Wagr) legally can't touch. Friends host a private league, call shots on sports, pop culture, or personal challenges, and stake virtual "Scoops" (bragging points, never cash) on each other's picks. Lose a call and you owe a silly photo-proof forfeit the league votes to verify. Server-authoritative coin balances + season standings (a client can't mint Scoops or self-resolve).

9. 🌙 Midnight

Turn up the night.

A 21+ adult party-game platform — the polished, browser-first answer the category is missing (Picolo is just text; Jackbox needs a console). The host signs in, opens a room, and shares a 4-letter code; friends join instantly from ANY phone with just a nickname — no app, no account (anonymous per-room session tokens). Real interactive mini-games, not text prompts: Hot Seat (answer a prompt, vote the funniest), Most Likely To (vote a player), and VIP Spin & Dare (digital bottle + dares).

10. 🔎 The Casebook

Two phones. One mystery. Solve it together.

A monthly co-op detective mystery game for couples (18+) — the at-home date night that turns the couch into a crime scene. It's an ASYMMETRIC two-player game: one partner works the Evidence Board (crime-scene photos, documents, a timeline), the other works the Witness Files (interview transcripts). Neither can solve the case alone — the game IS the conversation. You talk, share what only you can see, and connect a witness statement to a piece of physical evidence to unlock hidden clues, then name the culprit together. A new full-length case (~45-60 min) drops the first of each month, generated/authored in a noir whodunit structure with red herrings, locked evidence, AI hints when you're stuck, and a hard-boiled debrief when you crack it. The demo case is free; a subscription ('The Casebook Files', $7.99/mo or $59.88/yr, one sub covers both partners) unlocks every monthly case + the full back catalog, or buy a single case permanently for $9.99. Brand-new 'Noir Case File' look: charcoal & alley gray under venetian-blind light streaks, warm amber desk-lamp glow, manila folder cards stamped CONFIDENTIAL, crime-scene-tape accents, Special Elite typewriter type over Inter. Server-authoritative connections, scoring & reveals; private by default; installable PWA. 36 apps total.

  • Asymmetric co-op: one works evidence, one works witnesses — solve it together
  • A new full-length noir case (~45-60 min) every month + free demo case
  • Connect a witness statement to evidence to unlock the truth, then accuse
  • AI hints when you're stuck + a hard-boiled debrief when you crack it

11. 🎲 Sure Bet

You think you know. Prove it.

A couples prediction game with real-world forfeits and a longitudinal 'How Well You Know Each Other' score. Two paired partners sit at a TABLE; each daily bet is about ONE of them (the subject) — the subject answers honestly about themselves, the other PREDICTS that answer. Predictions stay hidden until both are in, then the card flips: a correct read scores a point, a wrong read owes a real-world FORFEIT (loser cooks Friday, plans the next date night, gives a back rub) tracked in a fairness ledger with optional photo proof + winner confirmation. A 'How Well You Know Each Other' percentage trends over time with milestones (Tuned In, Mind Reader, Soulmate Telepathy) and a sparkline; premium couples opt into ANONYMOUS leagues to see their percentile against other couples (codenames only, no identifiers). AI (Gemini) writes the personalized daily question + a fair playful forfeit + a score insight. Free tier: 3 bets/week, basic score, 7-day history. Sure Bet Premium ($59.88/yr, one subscription covers both partners) unlocks unlimited bets, full history, forfeit photo proofs, leagues, and AI insights. Brand-new 'Board Game Parlor' look: warm walnut & mahogany wood, felt-green card-table accents, game-piece primary colors (red/blue/yellow/green), gold-foil highlights, oversized linen-cream game cards and game-token buttons; Righteous display + Nunito Sans. Installable PWA, server-authoritative reveal/score/forfeits, private by default. 37 apps total.

  • Daily 'how well do you know each other' bet — predict your partner's real answer
  • Predictions hidden until both are in, then the card flips
  • Real-world forfeits (loser cooks / plans date night) with a fairness ledger
  • A longitudinal score with trends, milestones & a sparkline

12. 🏡 Homestead

Tend your world. Together.

A shared, asynchronous garden-and-cottage world for two — it turns two solo casual-game habits into ONE beautiful, growing homestead. Two paired partners co-own a garden + cottage that flourishes only when both tend it. Each day brings a short solitaire-style PUZZLE HAND (a cozy tile-match) — the same puzzle for both, played independently; scores are individual but the resources (water, seeds, lumber) POOL into the shared homestead. Spend them to plant crops that grow over real-time days, upgrade the cottage, and add decorations and animal companions. The garden gently wilts only if BOTH partners miss two days — a low-pressure joint stake, no individual blame, with a warning at one day. Grandkids visit via a read-only guest link and leave a watering can. AI (Gemini) writes tiny whimsical story snippets about the homestead's current state. Free: one puzzle hand a day, a basic garden, three cottage styles. Homestead Plus ($7.99/mo or $59.88/yr, one subscription covers both) expands the garden, unlocks premium decorations, seasonal themes, and the grandkid guest link; one-time cosmetic packs ($1.99-$3.99) add woodland friends, a cozy corner, and meadow magic. Brand-new 'Storybook Cottage' look: soft watercolor washes (sage, blush, sky), deckled-edge storybook-page cards with botanical borders, swaying wildflowers, drifting fireflies, golden-hour light; Alice display serif + Quicksand. Installable PWA, server-authoritative resources/growth/wilt, private by default. 38 apps total.

  • A shared garden + cottage that grows only when both of you tend it
  • A cozy daily puzzle hand — play independently, pool the rewards
  • Plant crops that grow over real days; upgrade the cottage; add decor & pets
  • Gentle joint stake: wilts only if BOTH miss two days (warned at one)

13. 🐉 Lap Legends

Two heroes. One screen. Endless adventures.

A parent-child (or big-sibling/little-sibling) co-op adventure for ages 3-10, played together on ONE tablet with a true split-screen, dual-role design. The big 'Little Legend' zone is for the small hands — tap and tap to make a cartoon dragon flap and glide, dodging puffy obstacles and grabbing sparkly stars. The 'Guide' zone up top is for the grown-up or older sibling — a minimap previews the dangers ahead, a big Shield button rescues the Little Legend from a bump, and a Hint button offers a gentle nudge. Both play at once: the game IS the teamwork. Roles auto-scale — pick 'Grown-up + Kid' (the Guide gets the planning map and words) or 'Sibling + Sibling' (the Guide gets bigger, picture-based buttons and less reading). It's OFFLINE-FIRST and needs NO login for kids — the whole game loop works with no internet and progress saves on the device. COPPA-safe: zero data is collected from children, and there are no ads, ever. A parental gate (a quick math question) guards the parent area, where a grown-up can buy with PayPal: the Lap Legends Pass ($59.88/yr, all worlds + legendary creatures, one Pass for the whole family) or one-time world packs ($14.99 each — Candy Volcano, Ocean Kingdom). The free demo includes the Enchanted Forest world. Brand-new 'Rainbow Quest' look: bright primary colors (sky blue, sunny yellow, kelly green, candy red, purple), puffy clouds, bubbly rounded shapes, sticker-like cards, sparkly effects, and oversized tap targets; Fredoka display + Nunito. Installable PWA that works fully offline. 39 apps total.

  • True split-screen co-op on one tablet — Little Legend taps, Guide shields & maps
  • Auto-scaling roles: 'Grown-up + Kid' or 'Sibling + Sibling'
  • Offline-first: the whole game works with no internet, progress saves locally
  • COPPA-safe: no child login, no data collection, no ads — ever

14. 🦊 Backyard Quest

Step outside. Discover together.

An outdoor adventure for ages 3-8, played on a grown-up's phone. The child walks to unlock clues (on-device step counter) and points the camera at real-world things (on-device recognition) — zero location, zero uploads, zero child data. COPPA-clean, offline-first, no ads, no subscription.

  • Step-counter-driven missions — 'Walk 50 steps to find the next clue!'
  • On-device camera challenges — 'Find something red and round!' (nothing uploaded)
  • Zero data collection: no child login, no location, no ads — COPPA-safe
  • Voice narration for pre-readers + a collectible sticker book

15. 🦙 Pequeño

¡Vamos a jugar en español!

A joyful Spanish immersion playlearning app for children ages 3-8 — for heritage families (kids talking to abuela) and monolingual parents who want to open the language window early. The market is wide open: nearly all kids'-language investment teaches ENGLISH to foreign kids; for US kids learning Spanish the only real competitor is a tiny 2013 app. Pequeño is fully IN SPANISH with playful visual cues so no translation is needed — children learn by context, repetition, and multi-sensory games. Vibrant cultural worlds (La Cocina, Los Animales, La Fiesta, El Mercado, La Selva) each mix animated vocabulary flashcards, tap-the-picture matching games, sing-alongs, interactive tap-to-hear stories, and optional ON-DEVICE pronunciation practice (Web Speech recognition in Spanish — nothing uploaded). Lola the llama guides the plaza; progress fills strings of marigolds; stars + bilingual achievements reward play. Audio is spoken on-device in Spanish (es-MX preferred) — a free, offline stand-in for recorded native audio, with subtitles in both languages. COPPA-CLEAN: the child has NO account or data — a PARENT owns the account (behind a parental gate), adds child profiles (nickname + age only), and sees a progress dashboard (words learned, lessons, an activity feed) + a cheerful AI (Gemini) report in English AND Spanish; cultural extras (recipes, printable coloring pages, traditional songs) for Premium. All play is local-first (IndexedDB) and fully OFFLINE after install. Free: 2 worlds (La Cocina + Los Animales), 5 lessons, 15-minute daily cap. Premium $59.88/yr (billed to the parent via PayPal): all worlds + future content, offline downloads, unlimited play, advanced tracking, cultural extras. Brand-new 'Vibrant Fiesta' look — warm cream with papel-picado bunting, bright ceramic-tile cards, marigold progress, oversized block/star buttons, jumping-bean nav; Fredoka + Nunito Sans + Caveat. Installable PWA.

  • Full Spanish immersion for ages 3-8 — learn by pictures, games & song, no translation
  • 5 vibrant cultural worlds: flashcards, matching, sing-alongs, stories, pronunciation
  • On-device Spanish speech (audio + pronunciation practice) — nothing uploaded
  • Vibrant Fiesta design — papel picado, ceramic tiles, marigolds, Lola the llama

16. 🪶 Quill Quest

Your words shape the world.

A daily writing-quest app for children ages 7-10 where an AI replies IN-CHARACTER to the child's writing — and never writes a single word for them. Composition for 7-10s is underserved (the one serious rival relies on costly human tutors); Quill Quest inverts the 'AI will write for my kid' fear by provably making children produce MORE original writing. Each day a character in a fantasy world sets a quest ("The Dragon King needs a new treasure — describe the most magical item you'd give him"); the child writes on a parchment sheet (typing or on-device speech-to-text), sends it 'by raven', and the character (Dragon King, Goblin Merchant, Sky Captain, Old Oak) replies as an unfolding wax-sealed letter with genuine curiosity + EXACTLY ONE positive, specific growth point — never grading, never correcting, never writing for them. Four story worlds, illuminated badges, streaks, and a full quest log. COPPA-SAFE WITH CONSENT: the child has NO account — a PARENT owns the account (behind a parental gate), gives explicit, REVOCABLE consent for AI processing, and adds child profiles (nickname + age only); the parent device is provisioned with a scoped per-child token so the child just taps their scribe to write. Child writing IS sent to AI (Gemini) only to craft the reply, is NEVER used to train models, is stored AES-256-GCM ENCRYPTED for the parent's review, and the parent dashboard shows every prompt, every piece, every reply + growth point with a writing-frequency chart and weekly AI summaries. A safety filter flags worrying writing for the parent (the reply stays gentle). Writing works OFFLINE (drafts + an outbox that syncs when back online); AI needs a connection. Free: 3 quests/week, 1 world, character reply only (no growth point), 7-day history. Unlimited $59.88/yr (billed to the parent via PayPal): unlimited quests, all worlds, growth points, full archive, premium themes. Brand-new 'Illuminated Manuscript' look — aged parchment, deckled scroll cards with wax seals, gold-leaf accents, sepia ink, the child's words in handwriting; Cormorant Garamond + Caveat + Inter. Installable PWA.

  • An AI character replies to the child's writing — and NEVER writes for them
  • Daily fantasy quests + exactly one positive growth point per piece (premium)
  • Illuminated Manuscript design — parchment scrolls, wax seals, gold leaf, ink
  • COPPA-safe: no child account, revocable AI consent, writing encrypted for parent review

17. 🦉 Number Nest

Grow math-confident kids, one game at a time.

A parent-child co-play math app for children ages 4-8 that breaks the cycle of math anxiety. Research (University of Chicago, JHU) shows the biggest gains come when math-anxious PARENTS get tools to reframe their own language — yet no commercial app targets the parent's mindset, and conceptual number-sense (the space DragonBox vacated) is now underserved while drill apps are saturated. Number Nest's twist: as the child plays warm, conceptual games — counting, subitizing, number bonds, patterns, measurement, spatial reasoning — a tiny leaf in the corner lets the grown-up quietly open a 'whisper-tip' panel showing EXACTLY what to say right now (a research-based reframe like "Mistakes help our brain grow!" instead of "I was never a math person"), with on-device audio. The co-play mechanic doubles as the guilt-free-screen-time position parents crave. Six treehouse worlds (The Acorn Patch, Counting Stream, Bunny Burrow, Firefly Hollow, Tall Pines, Owl's Loft) connected by rope bridges; one tappable game engine handles every skill type, spoken aloud for pre-readers. Progress is an acorn basket that fills and a growth-ring tree stump; badges reward effort. COPPA-CLEAN: the child has NO account or data — a PARENT owns the account (behind a parental gate), adds child profiles (nickname + age only), and sees a progress dashboard (skills chart, games, stars) + a gentle, non-judgmental AI (Gemini) nest report, plus the full searchable reframe library with audio. All play is local-first (offline after install). Free: 2 worlds (The Acorn Patch + Counting Stream), 10 games, basic tips, 15-minute daily cap. Unlimited $59.88/yr (billed to the parent via PayPal): all worlds + future seasonal content, the full reframe library + AI whisper-tips, advanced tracking, no daily limit. Brand-new 'Counting Treehouse' look — warm honey-wood backgrounds with wood-grain, chalkboard slates with chalk numerals, smooth wooden pebble buttons, lantern glow, forest creatures (owl, squirrel, bunny) and acorn-and-leaf motifs; Nunito + Inter + Fredoka. Installable PWA.

  • Parent whisper-tips: gentle, research-based reframes that stop math anxiety
  • Conceptual number sense for ages 4-8 — counting, subitizing, number bonds, patterns, measurement, spatial
  • Counting Treehouse design — honey-wood, chalkboard slates, lantern glow, forest friends
  • Spoken aloud on-device for pre-readers; acorn-basket & growth-ring progress

18. 🧪 Bright Lab

Ask big questions. Get messy. Discover.

A weekly science curriculum for ages 4-10 (grades K-5) — Khan-Academy-quality science where there's no free moat. Each episode is a ~10-minute interactive story-lesson: a diverse cast of kid scientists hits a problem that needs real science to solve, and the child predicts, answers, and helps along the way (with on-device voice-over for pre-readers). Every episode ends with a REAL kitchen-table experiment using common household items (baking-soda volcano, walking rainbow, balloon rocket, hidden leaf colors, a cloud in a jar, twinkling stars). The child does it off-screen, then taps 'Show me your experiment!' and the device CAMERA gives instant, fun feedback — analyzed ENTIRELY on-device (brightness/color/motion heuristics, no TensorFlow needed), and the photo is NEVER uploaded unless a parent opts in to the Lab Journal. Content is NGSS-aligned by grade band (K-1, 2-3, 4-5); the parent dashboard shows exactly which standards are covered, plus an AI (Gemini) weekly Lab Report, AI extension experiments, and AI journal captions. Badges by discipline (Chemistry Explorer, Physics Whiz, Biology Detective, Earth Ranger, Space Cadet). COPPA-CLEAN BY DESIGN: the child NEVER has an account or gives any info — a PARENT owns the account (behind a parental gate), adds child profiles (nickname + grade only), and manages everything. All play is local-first (IndexedDB) and fully OFFLINE after install. Free: 3 sample episodes + 1 experiment. Solo $59.88/yr (1 child) or Family $99/yr (up to 4 siblings), billed to the parent via PayPal. Physical experiment kits teased as 'Coming Soon'. Brand-new 'Junior Laboratory' look: clean white lab benches with grid-paper notebook cards, taped-on polaroids + APPROVED stamps, chalkboard shelves, flask-shaped buttons, and bright chemical accents (turquoise, magenta, sunny yellow, safety orange); Barlow Condensed + Inter + Caveat. Installable PWA.

  • Interactive story-lessons + a REAL kitchen-table experiment every episode
  • On-device camera 'verification' for fun feedback — photos never leave the device
  • NGSS-aligned K-5 ladder; parent dashboard shows exactly which standards are covered
  • Junior Laboratory design — grid-paper lab notebooks, beakers, chalkboards, badges

19. 📖 The Reading Engine

Open the book. Start the adventure.

An adventure game where READING is the controller, for children ages 6-8 who know their letter sounds but are stuck on the 'reading cliff' between decodable words and fluent sentences. The whole app is a living, enchanted storybook: an open book with two facing parchment pages and a stitched spine — the LEFT page is the story (a classic serif), the RIGHT page is a watercolour game scene that only animates (a door opens, a creature smiles, a spell sparkles) when the child reads the line correctly. No tapping to guess, no busywork — the world moves when you read. Two reading modes: tap-to-read (free, tap each word to hear + advance) and on-device VOICE reading (premium — the Web Speech API listens and highlights words as they're spoken; audio NEVER leaves the device). Difficulty is invisible and ADAPTIVE: every line is authored at three levels (decodable words → simple sentences → fuller paragraphs) and the book quietly scales to the reader, with Gemini estimating reading level and generating monthly bonus story drops made for that child. Read-a-sign mini-games, a winding world-map of chapters, Story Gems + stars, and marginalia creatures that react. COPPA-CLEAN BY DESIGN: the child NEVER has an account or gives any information — a PARENT owns the account (behind a parental gate), manages readers (a nickname only) + subscription + a progress dashboard with a gentle AI report. All play is local-first (IndexedDB) and FULLY OFFLINE after install; nothing about the child is collected. Free: the first world 'The Enchanted Woods' (5 chapters), tap-to-read, dashboard lite. Unlimited Access ($12.99/mo or $59.88/yr, billed to the parent via PayPal) opens every world, voice reading, advanced reports, and monthly story drops. Brand-new 'Living Storybook' look — parchment textures, deep ink-blue text, gold-foil chapter titles, wax-seal buttons, page-curl turns; Literata + Nunito Sans + Playfair Display. Full accessibility (text size, dyslexia-friendly font, high contrast). Installable PWA.

  • Reading IS the controller — the storybook world only moves when you read it
  • Tap-to-read (free) or on-device voice reading (premium) — audio never leaves the device
  • Invisibly adaptive text: decodable words → sentences → paragraphs, scaled to the reader
  • Living Storybook UI — turning parchment pages, gold-foil titles, reacting marginalia

A cozy god world-builder (Equilinox-inspired). Sculpt a small island — raise land, carve water, paint grass and forest — then grow plants and place creatures and watch your world come alive. The heart of it is BREEDING: mate two creatures and they have young; fuse two DIFFERENT creatures and you discover a brand-new procedurally-generated species (its body, colour, and traits blended and mutated from its parents — endless new creatures, not a fixed set). Plants grow over real time, babies grow into adults, and the island slowly fills with life you shaped. Calm, tactile, godlike. A look-down low-poly diorama. Freemium. Installable PWA.

  • Sculpt the land — raise/lower terrain, paint water, grass, sand, forest
  • Grow plants that sprout and grow over time; watch the island fill in
  • Place & breed creatures — babies grow into adults
  • FUSE two creatures into a brand-new procedurally-generated species

24. 🖥️ DESK

Every case is a puzzle. Find it.

An immersive OSINT investigation thriller for ages 16-65+, played entirely inside a simulated analyst operating system. Boot into a moody, phosphor-green 'Operator Terminal' desktop: drag windows, browse a case file manager, scrape a faux social feed, run queries against a leaked database, triangulate cell-tower pings on a map, slide a redaction-reveal over classified documents, and crack ciphers in a decryption terminal. Build your theory on a node-linked corkboard — drag evidence cards, string colored connections, add sticky-note hunches — then submit a who/what/where/why conclusion that an AI 'handler' debriefs with hits, misses, and a branching epilogue. Free demo case 'The Missing Journalist'; buy individual cases, a 3-case Season Pass, or the DESK Analyst subscription for everything plus monthly AI-generated drops. Installable PWA, offline-ready, with community-shared solution boards.

  • Diegetic desktop OS: draggable windows, taskbar, file manager
  • Node-linked evidence board — pin cards, string the theory web
  • Faux tools: feed scraper, DB query, map triangulator, decryptor
  • AI handler debriefs your conclusion with a branching epilogue

25. ⚙️ Contraption

Build. Test. Tinker. Triumph.

A physics-engineering sandbox-puzzler for ages 10-65+ — where brilliant designs and glorious failures collide. Snap together beams, support rods, wheels, springs and motors on a 3D workbench, then hit Play and watch a real rigid-body simulation either carry your barrel home or hilariously collapse. Every part glows from blue to red as it strains, so you learn structural intuition as a side effect — triangulate or it snaps. A curated 10-level free campaign teaches the mechanics (first plank, mind the gap, the triangle trick, suspended loads, your first powered cart); an unlimited Workshop sandbox lets creativity run wild; and a live community Gallery lets you share builds with one tap and remix anyone else's. Professor Cogsworth (AI) leaves a warm, funny note with a real engineering hint after every spectacular wreck. Brand-new 'Inventor's Workbench' look: dark mahogany & cast-iron, brass & copper gauges, leather tool-belt strips, riveted metal plates and blueprint-grid paper, in stamped-metal Bebas Neue over Nunito Sans. No subscription, no ads — a free core game, themed level packs ($2.99-$4.99), and a one-time Pro Sandbox ($9.99) for unlimited parts, blueprint export and cosmetic skins. Installable PWA, fully playable offline.

  • Real in-browser rigid-body physics — no downloads, runs offline
  • Snap-together 3D building: beams, rods, wheels, springs, motors
  • Stress-color overlay: parts glow blue→red as they strain & snap
  • Free 10-level campaign + unlimited sandbox + AI inventor hints
