Puzzle games that work in airplane mode. Zero ads, zero tracking

WHAT IT SOLVES

Every mobile game demands WiFi or forces you to watch ads. Sometimes you just want to kill 10 minutes on a flight

WHY IT'S INTERESTING

★ Product taste

Designed for fragments, not immersion

The author's own words: most games demand significant time to learn and skill up. Downtime flips that—minimal learning curve, quick sessions, built specifically for flights and commutes

★ Real craft

Actually offline, not 'cached offline'

Explicitly works in airplane mode—no account, no ads, no data collection. Three promises that are basically endangered in 2024 Android games

「"Most of the games I tried did require an online connection, or wasted my time waiting for and watching ads"」
