Glide the blobs home.

Glide Home is a cozy color puzzle for iPhone and iPad. Swipe a blob and it glides across the ice until something stops it. Bring every blob back to the burrow of its own color, using walls, snowdrifts and even other blobs as stoppers.

Free to play. Ads are kept light and never interrupt a level, and one small purchase removes them for good.

Coming soon to the App Store

Frequently asked questions

Are there ads? How do I remove them?

Glide Home is free to play and is supported by ads, kept light so they never get in the way of a puzzle:

  • Between levels only: a full-screen ad may appear when you tap Next after winning a level, starting after level 8 and never more than every few levels. Never in the middle of a puzzle, and never when you undo, restart or open a menu.
  • A small banner at the bottom of the level map and the game screen, from level 15.
  • Optional videos: you can choose to watch a short video for a free hint, to double the coins from a level or a scene gift, or for a few free coins in the shop (twice a day at most). They are never required, and no video ever unlocks a shop item.

Remove Ads is a one-time purchase of US$0.99 (or the price Apple sets for your country). Buy it from the game's Settings and the banner and between-level ads are gone for good. The optional videos stay available in case you still want a free hint. There are no accounts, and hints and shop items are paid for with coins you earn just by playing.

I bought Remove Ads. How do I get it back on another device?

Open the game and go to Settings → Restore purchases, signed in to the App Store with the same Apple Account you bought it with. It also works after deleting and reinstalling the app. Remove Ads supports Family Sharing, so if you share purchases with your family, they can restore it the same way.

Purchases are processed by Apple, so we never see your payment details. For a refund or a problem with a charge, use Apple's Report a Problem page.

How do ads affect my privacy, and how do I change my choices?

The ads come from Google AdMob. To show and measure ads and to prevent fraud, Google's software in the app collects information such as device identifiers, your approximate location (from your IP address) and how you interact with ads. Ads are personalized only if you allow it:

  • In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, Google's consent message appears the first time you open the game. You can change your answer later with Settings → Privacy options in the game. In US states with privacy laws, the same Privacy options opens Google's form to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your information.
  • Apple's prompt asks whether Glide Home may track you. You can change it any time in your device's Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.

Saying no doesn't change the game at all: you still see ads, just not personalized ones. Your progress is never sent to us or to Google. The privacy policy has the details.

How do I report an inappropriate ad?

We ask Google to show only ads suitable for general audiences, but if one slips through, please report it:

  • On the ad, tap the small AdChoices or menu icon, choose Why this ad?, then Report ad. That goes straight to Google (how reporting works).
  • Or, in the game, open Settings > Report an ad, which starts an email to us, or write to support@glidehome.app directly. Add a screenshot and roughly when you saw it, so we can ask Google to block it.
Does it work offline?

Yes, completely, including the daily puzzle. Without a connection, ads simply don't appear and the optional videos are hidden. Buying or restoring Remove Ads needs a connection to the App Store.

Where is my progress saved?

Only on your device. Your solved levels, daily puzzles, stars, coins, collected items and settings are saved in the app's private storage on your iPhone or iPad, and they are never sent to us or to anyone else. Glide Home has no accounts.

How do I reset my progress?

Open the game and go to Settings → Reset progress, then confirm. This erases your saved progress on that device so you can start fresh. Deleting the app also deletes everything it saved. Resetting doesn't affect Remove Ads: if you bought it, it stays (or comes back with Restore purchases).

A reset can't be undone, because there's no copy of your progress anywhere else.

Can I move my progress to a new iPhone or iPad?

Not yet. Glide Home has no accounts or cloud saves, so there's nothing we can transfer for you, and restoring progress on a new device isn't supported. If you set up a new device from an iCloud or computer backup of your old one, your progress may come along with the app's data, but the game doesn't rely on it and we can't guarantee it. Remove Ads always comes back with Restore purchases.

What accessibility features does Glide Home have?
  • Color symbols: every color also has its own symbol (on by default), so you can match blobs to burrows by shape instead of color.
  • Tap to move: instead of swiping, tap a blob and choose a direction with the on-screen arrows. With a hardware keyboard you can also use the arrow keys.
  • Reduced motion: the game follows your device's Reduce Motion setting, and has its own switch in Settings.
  • Sound, music and haptics each have their own switch.
  • Larger text: menus follow your device's text size. The game board keeps its own layout so it always fits the screen.
  • Large touch targets on every button.

Buttons and menus have VoiceOver labels, but the puzzle board itself isn't fully playable with VoiceOver yet. If something gets in your way, please tell us.

I'm stuck on a level. Is it really solvable?

Yes. Every level is checked by a solver before it ships, so there's always a way home. Use undo freely, try moving a different blob first, and remember that blobs can act as bumpers for each other. Hints are there when you need them, and the next two levels stay open, so you can come back to a tough one later.

What are coins for?

You earn coins by solving levels (more for Tricky ones and for your first three stars), from the gift at the end of every scene, from daily puzzles and, if you like, from optional videos. Spend them on hints, or in the Shop, which opens after level 10: funny boards, hats and other outfits for your blobs, burrow styles and glide trails. Every price is shown before you buy, nothing is random, and some items can only be earned, from chapter chests, stars and daily puzzles. Coins can't be bought with real money.
