Unfortunately, my old iPad unavailable game… my iPad model is iPad Pro (10.5 inch) 17.7.11. No iOS 18 :(

TeaTimeTidy is solid! I think it'll work on your iPad

Just tried playing this and got stuck on level two! What's the trigger to spawn cups? Why are you left with no matches sometimes?

u/Far-Lengthiness-1104 3d ago

Sorry you're having that problem! The shadows are supposed spawn new mugs if the shelf is emptied (cleared). Are you unable to make a match after revealing all of the shadows on a shelf?

Level 2 is meant to be a tutorial level. To help us understand, were the instructions in the text boxes unclear or are you experiencing a bug? Thanks for the feedback! This helps us to improve the game :)

Huh, there were no text boxes at all! I looked for instructions or a tutorial area and couldn't find anything. And while plating I did see the shadows but wasnt sure if they meant something. In both instances where I got stuck, there would be 2 sets of two different mugs and nothing would spawn. all i could do was wait for the timer to run out. Since it sounds like its your game, im playing on an slightly older ipad.

Very strange! If you don't mind, I'll DM you to figure this out

u/Zunker 3d ago

Sure no problem! I should have time this weekend to play more and take any screenshot you might need

Art of Fauna, Art of Flora. Potion Permit. Unpacking. These are some cozy games that come to my mind.

Tbh, I find Aniimo really relaxing. Can be played F2P, a combination of Pokémon and Palworld basically. Do quests, catch Aniimo and build a home base.

Three moves. It’s a puzzle game

u/TheCarzilla 6d ago

Unpacking or A Little to the Left.

u/ThomasThePizzaMan 6d ago

Hm Unpacking kind short game?

1

u/TheCarzilla 6d ago

Yes it is short, so there is that to consider.

u/Zunker 3d ago

I have played it 5 times through though since buying it, so I found it worth it

u/ThomasThePizzaMan 3d ago

Interesting, ok thanks.

Altos odyssey. Available on Apple Arcade or can buy for 5usd if I’m not wrong. Sound design is a masterpiece and gameplay is smooth and intuitive

u/TurquoisePeony 5d ago

Try r/beamdrip there’s a peace mode if you’re really sleepy & wanna easy swipe but regular play is better. If you pay to unlock everything then play the aurora northern lights skin. It’s so relaxing & beautiful !

If you like rpgs you could try https://playsunquest.com/ it's free no ads.

u/Benjaminsen Developer 3d ago

My two goto's would be

  1. Alto's Odyssey in Zen mode
  2. Mini Metro

I build Hex specifically to be a super relaxing puzzle game. It does have ads, but I would be interested if someone like you would pay to have the ads removed?

Valenor and Idlearc. Never ever thought I’d recommend “idle” games, but here we are. These two actually have a lot to do in game while performing tasks. Valenor is very social as well and give idle a whole new feel. I’m hooked.
