Guides

Tips and how-tos for our games and apps, written from the way they really work.

These guides are written by Rekto Digital, the studio that makes Meow Jar, Plonk, Kind PDF and Gatekeep. The game guides come straight from each game's rules: how points are counted, how combos and power-ups work, and what actually helps you score more; the comparison guides explain how our games relate to Suika and Block Blast. The app guides walk through everyday tasks, like turning a PDF into a Word file on your phone.
