ShoreTiles ·
Build a lovely island. Defend its one fragile light.
A tile-placement puzzle that becomes a survival problem after sunset.

ShoreTiles has a very effective reason to make every placement count: the lighthouse draws things out of the sea. The daytime calm feels different when you know what the island will have to withstand at night.
Draw and connect houses, farms, barracks and walls, pushing the shore out into the fog. Joe’s touchstones were Dorfromantik, Bad North and Dredge. That mix of careful building and coastal unease is why this one made the list.
