Pawshift: Light Dog Puzzle

Guide a little dog of light

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Swipe the world down, hold a stone in place – and watch your little dog of light find its way. Calm puzzles, clear rules, no time pressure. In a quiet floating world of moss, moonstone and lantern light, a small dog made of light is waiting to get home. You don't steer the dog – you move the world. Swipe down and everything shifts. Tap a stone and it stays put while the world slides past it. From these two moves come bridges, ferries and stairways – and soon puzzles where every move counts. • 68 puzzles in six worlds: Glimmerwood, Moon Ruins, Lantern Quarter, Mistmere, Crystal Hollow and Starwatch • 12 bonus puzzles that open with the stars you earn • A new daily puzzle every day – keep your streak alive • A little dog village that grows with every dog you bring home • Collars, charms and glow colors to collect – earned by playing or with sparks • Short story moments between the chapters • Rune stones, glow seeds, seals, light bridges and shaped stones that change the world for good • Up to three stars per puzzle – for finding the shortest path • Several dogs, each looking for its own home • Every chapter you finish is celebrated – and opens the door to the next world • Undo and restart any time – unlimited and free • Three levels of hints, from a gentle nudge to a full walkthrough • No timers, no energy, no lives • Plays offline – with automatic backup to your iCloud • English and German, for phones and tablets Pawshift is free. Ads only appear between puzzles and never in the first chapter, and a one-time purchase removes them for good. You earn sparks for glow colors and collars by playing; you can also buy them if you like.
