TideLines
Strategy
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Match sea-swept gems before the tide rises! Cozy puzzle fun with colorblind-friendly tiles, leaderboards, and a rewarded extra life. Dive in!
TideLines is a cozy, tide-themed match-3 puzzle game where the real challenge isn't just making matches — it's beating the water. As you play, the tide steadily rises up the screen, and every match you clear buys you a little more time before it reaches the top. Clear quickly, chain cascades, and climb through difficulty stages as your score grows.
Tiles are designed with colorblind players in mind, pairing each color with its own sea-themed icon — fish, waves, pearls, kelp, sand, and shells — so matches are always easy to spot. The main menu comes alive with a gently animated reef, drifting shells, swimming fish, and the occasional passing octopus.
Track your best runs on the built-in high score list, and compete globally with Game Center leaderboards — TideLines is fully Game Center compatible, so you can see how your score stacks up against other players. Run out of lives? Watch a quick rewarded ad for one extra life and keep the tide at bay a little longer.
A relaxed, replayable puzzle escape with a rising-stakes twist.

What's new in TideLines 1.3
- Classic now has real stakes. Let the tide reach the top and it's game over, but you can watch a short ad to continue, up to twice per game. Zen Mode stays endless and relaxing as ever.
- Four new tile themes to unlock: Sea Glass, Sunset Shore, Night Reef and Golden Pearl. Reach higher scores to earn them, then pick your favourite in Settings.
- Remove Ads. A one-off purchase in Settings removes banner ads and the ads between games for good.
- Tip Jar. Enjoying TideLines? You can now leave a tip to support an indie developer.
- The game now pauses itself if you get a call or leave the app, so the tide never rises while you're away.
- The tide now lines up exactly with the top of the board, and rises a little faster through the empty space below it.
Plus bug fixes and small improvements. Thanks for playing!
