A cozy puzzle game for iPhone, at your own pace
Pull back the paper boat, let go and gather the ducklings. Tiny Tides gives you time to line up the next shot, with no timer counting down.
What makes a puzzle game restful?
A restful puzzle gives you room to think. There is something satisfying about looking at a scene, deciding where to aim and taking the shot when you are ready. The water and ducklings give you something gentle to look at while you work it out.
Price matters too. Before getting into a game, it helps to know how much you can play for free and what a purchase will open.
A paper boat and four worlds
The 40 voyages take you through the Sunlit Lagoon, the Mangrove River, the Moonlit Grotto and the Storm Coast. There is also a new Daily Tide every day, and sea friends to collect and dress up.
What is free?
Tiny Tides is free to download on iPhone. The first world, the Sunlit Lagoon, includes voyages 1 to 10 for free. Full Voyage unlocks all 40 voyages for US$4.99, one time.
