settle

A quiet puzzle about finding your place.

Swipe to tilt the world. Everything loose slides at once, the pebble and the stones alike, until something stops it. Help the pebble roll home into its hollow.

One rule

Many small worlds

Still water swallows the pebble, but a stone rolled into it becomes a path. Moss holds whatever rolls onto it. Rails carry you round the bend, thin ice holds only once, and a glowing ember burns the moss away. Then wells, currents, bells and glass, a hollow that wanders, two pebbles that move as one, and one that mirrors you.

The chapter list: each chapter's levels shown as small pebbles, settled or not yet

The pebble collection, some of the forty found

The ending: the pebble in its hollow, the pebbles found on the way gathered round it, and the word settled

In the game

Made slowly, by hand

Levels: 212 in 18 chapters, and 23 harder ones in the bonus chapter, Deep.
Every one solvable: Each level is checked by a solver before it ships, so there is always a way home, and a fewest-moves count to aim for if you like.
Calm: No timers, no lives, no ads. Undo is always free.
Sound: Soft music composed as you play, in the key of each chapter. Every stop is a note in that key.
Pebbles: Forty to collect, one at the end of every chapter. Some leave a little weather behind them as they roll.
For every eye: Night and day themes, a high-contrast mode with a shape on every piece, and reduced motion.
Languages: English, Türkçe, 한국어, 日本語.
Price: One price for the whole game. Three small extras if you want them: more hints, every chapter opened at once, or a pebble you like.
