Hi! I'm looking for some fun and interesting casual puzzle games. Some of my favorites, in no particular order, are:
- Sudoku
- Nonogram - like the recent Every 5x5 Nonogram or Picross.
- Tetris - Apotris on GBA is great!
- A few from the Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection
- Sokoban
- Catrap on Gameboy, a bit similar to Sokoban
- Dragonsweeper and Mamono Sweeper that people recommended here a while ago.
- Chip's Challenge - Lexy's Labyrinth is a browser-based reimplementation.

CGA-2025-09 🕹️🚂 REMOVE CARTRIDGE ⏏️ The Last Express
Warning: this post may contain spoilers
Flames flicker as the once mighty Orient Express lies on its side in pieces, bodies in cartoonishly thuggish costumes scattered all around. After a long three days full of murder, deception, concerts and romance, its final journey has come to a fiery end.
From the inferno, a single figure emerges in a scorched trench coat, dark hair ruffled by the breeze. He brushes off the coat with one hand and smoothly extends the other, and a solid gold bird swoops down from the sky to perch on it. Red flames flicker along its wings and back, but his sleeve remains perfectly untouched.
He walks away from the burning wreckage, arm still outstretched with gleaming golden bird atop it. Sunglasses descend from the sky and land squarely on his nose. A second smaller pair studded with jewels descends and lands on the bird's beak, managing to somehow look cool instead of ridiculous.
“Time to kick some Nazi ass,” the man declares, and the bird caws.
The train explodes behind them and the air reverberates with a “Yeeeaaaahhhh!”
Note: the above scene may not be 100% accurate or canon.
So concludes the first leg of the Colossal Game Adventure!
We hope you enjoyed your time aboard The Last Express. For anyone who missed the initial boarding period... Well uh, luckily this game involves rewinding time, so you can just rewind here to the Insert Cartridge topic when the train was intact. Feel free to post there if you're just starting the game, or you can post here after finishing even if you're only finding these topics months later.
That said, presumably most of you boarded earlier and had a chance to play the game. As such, this post will not require spoilers to be hidden in dropdown blocks. So if you don't want to be spoiled, please adjust your clock and rewind to the previous post.
Use this post to share final thoughts and impressions, post fun little secrets or easter eggs you found, ask questions if you had to abort your playthrough for whatever reason, link video clips, discuss if you completed any of the meta challenges, etc. Or you can share and express admiration for the very nice official Colossal Game Adventure splash screen made by @Boojum which I meant to link last time on "Press Start", but accidentally pasted the wrong link. I have since fixed it, but that was two nights ago so you probably haven't seen it. And dang it this splash screen is too awesome to go unappreciated!!
Otherwise, we can consider this leg of the journey to be complete. That said, the adventure is only just beginning! Wouldn't be a Colossal Game Adventure with only one game, now would it? You can find the current schedule here. Our next destination will be Chrono Trigger with @ali stepping up as the next host. As for me, my time as conductor has come to an end and I will be joining you all as passengers.
If you intend to continue this journey, you can just grab your luggage from the—uh... *glances at the flaming wreckage* ...Well hey, it'll be a little easier to travel without all that extra weight, right?
Onwards to Chrono Trigger!
THE END
> CONTINUE?

This topic is for the Three Cheers for Tildes mobile app.
I'll summarize the major updates at the start of each similar topic, so people can read the updates and then hit Ignore if they don't care about more frequent updates and user feedback.
Recently:
[Android] Version 1.4.3 (Apr 30, 2025): Fixed a layout bug on topics.
[Android] Version 1.4.2 (Apr 11, 2025): Reduced highlighting when formatting markdown. Fixed minor text size bugs.
[iOS] Version 1.4.1 (Apr 11, 2025): Fixed a bunch of text size bugs reported through TestFlight, especially when rendering comments. Reduced highlighting when formatting markdown.
Version 1.4.0 (Apr 6, 2025):
- Added text size setting
- Fixed markdown formatting bar bugs
The text size setting for accessibility is long overdue. I've been feeling bad that some users couldn't even use the app because the text was too small.
This has been another large change where I had to go back and re-test screens throughout the entire app, and fix many layout bugs caused by the dynamic text size. It's been very tedious!
In fact, the iOS release is delayed because I found some last-minute bugs and have had to go back to figure out solutions.iOS is up on TestFlight!Also I am aware that there are still bugs in some places when you set the text excessively large. It's not a priority for me to fix those, unless they make the app unusable.
Have been particularly busy so far this year and that will continue for a while, so I may be less responsive here, even though I likely will see your messages. Thanks for continuing to report issues; v1.4 fixes some bugs based on those reports.
