Stone & Glaze

A merge game that leaves your podcast playing

Drop glazed stones into a stoneware vessel. Two alike merge into the next size, up through 11 glazes. There are no ads at all, and nothing stops the sound from your other apps.

Download on the App Store For iPhone. Your first 3 runs are free, then one purchase.

  • Your audio stays on

    Stone & Glaze never stops another app's sound. Your podcast, audiobook or music carries on, and the game's own sounds can be turned off.

  • No ads at all

    There's no ad code in the app, so nothing interrupts a run. No ad breaks, no banners, no videos to sit through.

  • Pay once

    Your first 3 full runs are free. After that, one purchase lets you play for as long as you like. No subscription, no coins, no continues for sale.

Stone styles

Glazed pebbles come with the game. Four optional kits change how the pieces look, each as a one-time purchase, or all four together. They never change the game or the score.

  • Glazed ceramic pebbles in lapis blue with gold lines, oxblood red, celadon green and white with blue speckles, on a stone ledge.

Every stone is artwork made for the game. The kits change only how the pieces look.

A shelf of glazes

Each new glaze you make goes on your shelf, next to your best score, from a small honey pebble to a white moon mended with gold. Quit whenever you need to: every piece is saved where it was and carries on moving when you come back.

Questions

Will it stop my podcast or music?

No. Stone & Glaze plays alongside other apps and never pauses them. The game's own sounds are quiet, follow your silent switch, and can be turned off under the speaker button.

Are there really no ads?

None. The app has no ad code in it at all, so there are no ad breaks, banners or videos, and nothing to pay to remove.

What does it cost?

Your first 3 full runs are free, and the game says so before you buy anything. After that, one purchase unlocks play for as long as you like. The App Store shows the price in your currency. A run in progress is never cut off.

What do the stone style kits change?

Only the look of the pieces. Physics, rules and scores are the same in every style. Each kit is a single purchase, or you can get all four together. Glazed pebbles are included.

Do I need an account or the internet?

No. There's no sign-up, no tracking and no server of ours, and the game works offline. Purchases go through Apple, and Game Center and iCloud sync are optional Apple services.

What if I quit in the middle of a run?

Every piece is saved with its position and motion, so the run carries on exactly where it was when you come back.

I got a new phone. How do I get my purchase back?

Open the speaker button, then tap Restore purchase while signed in with the Apple Account you bought with. It brings back the unlock and any stone styles. More on the support page.
