A browser hex-puzzle game where solving levels helps rebuild a small town on the back of a walking turtle.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-13 issue.
For
Puzzle-game players who enjoy gentle, story-led play
Worth noticing
Blueprints become town structures, and players choose between alternatives such as a lookout tower or a weathervane mast.

Field notes

Each board uses six-direction swaps across hexagonal shell plates, with clay, reeds, wool, copper, and glass serving as building materials. A level’s blueprint determines what to assemble, while players choose between alternatives such as a lookout tower or weathervane mast; the page lists six chapters and 60 levels, with only Mist Valley included in the free chapter. The remaining five landscapes are part of the $4.99 one-time full game.
