My partner likes putting podcasts on the TV. If I don't have something else to do, I play Peglin!

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine or advice forum.
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. Not hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.

Any idea how it compares with Peggle? I haven’t played it in years but suddenly feel nostalgic for games you could pay once for and not watch ads. (Peggle looks to no longer be that though).
It's if Peggle were a Roguelike. It's a port of a PC game, so you don't need to worry about in-app purchases aside from buying the full game. There's a free demo!
Hey, that looks pretty fun
What kind of word puzzles?
Not OP, but I highly recommend Cryptograms as a word puzzle you can do on paper if you’re trying to get off your phone for a while (I bought a book of 500 and it’s been great). The learning curve isn’t too intense, and each puzzle is different enough from the last that they don’t lose their challenge over time.
I’m also the creator of an app called Sootly, if you’re looking for a deeply stressful game of word guessing and deductive logic. It’s a free app with no ads, for the record, so no motive of financial gain here.
