Get help with Mapleshift, the leaf-raking puzzle.
Mapleshift is an iOS and Android puzzle: drag a rake across a tiled courtyard to shove heaps of autumn leaves into planters. It has 100 yards in ten worlds, a Daily yard with a streak, an endless Windfall run, a Shed of 12 rakes, tile glazes and skies you unlock with free coins earned by playing, is free to play with ads, has no accounts, and works offline. Questions? Write to bpupadhyaya@equalinformation.com.
Yes. Mapleshift is free to play, with ads served by Google AdMob: a banner on the menu screen and below the play field, and a full-screen ad after some completed levels. You can earn ad-free play each month by watching short videos, or go ad-free every month with an optional monthly subscription.
Press a tile behind a heap and drag in a straight line: the rake slides and shoves every heap in its way one tile ahead of it. Hedges stop the rake, heaps of the same colour merge, brass gutters carry a heap onward, and a well swallows one heap. Fill every planter with the right colour and size. Use no more strokes than par for three leaves, par plus two for two. Undo, Restart and Hint are always there, and there are no timers.
Open Quiet Yard from the menu and watch short rewarded videos. A progress bar shows how many videos you have watched this month and the date it resets. Reaching the goal turns ads off until that date. Watching is always your choice.
Quiet Yard is US$2.99 per month (local price shown in the store). It renews automatically every month until you cancel, and it removes ads for as long as it is active.
