About Ouleiya

Ouleiya is a small independent game studio. We build short, satisfying puzzle games — the kind you can finish on a coffee break — and publish them here for free. There are currently 10 games on the site, and we add new ones as they're ready.

What we make

Our games grew out of the mobile puzzle work we do every day. The screw-sorting puzzle Screw Creek is our app for iPhone and Android; several of the mini-games that shipped inside it — like Block Drop and Shelf Sort — started life as breaks from the main project and are now on this site as standalone browser games.

Everything here is original: the rules, levels, art and code are written by our own team. We don't re-host other studios' games.

How we design puzzles

• Solvable, always. Where levels are generated, a solver checks each one before it's served. Hard levels exist; impossible ones don't.
• Short sessions. A round should take one to five minutes and be easy to pick back up.
• Phone first. Every game is built for touch and tested on small screens, then adapted to keyboard and mouse.
• Written guides. Each game page explains the rules and the strategies we use ourselves when we playtest.
