Like the good old days

Every game comes with a real handbook.

Proper printed-style manuals, written from the games themselves. Drag a book to turn it all the way round, click to open it and page through right here in your browser. Free, like the games.

What we make

Easy

Learn it in a minute. Clear rules, simple controls, and nothing to study before the fun starts.

Retro Casino 5in1 · TankForge

Relaxing

Play at your own pace. Calm games that are just as happy with two minutes as with a whole evening.

Sill One

Retro

Old-school charm. The feel of pocket handhelds and arcade classics, rebuilt for the phone you have now.

The DoD play promise

Free means free. Extras are optional.

We make the kind of games we want to play ourselves. Four rules hold for every DoD game, and below them is exactly how each game keeps them.

  1. 01

    No forced adverts

    An advert never plays by surprise. Every advert in a DoD game is one you choose to watch, for a reward you can see first.

  2. 02

    No waiting time

    No energy bars, no lives that refill on a timer, and no countdown you can pay to skip.

  3. 03

    Simple by design

    Easy to pick up and easy to put down. No maze of menus, currencies or daily chores.

  4. 04

    Play it all for free

    Every game can be enjoyed without paying. Want a little extra? Watch an advert or pay a small fee, only if you want to.

How each game keeps it

Checked against the current build of each game.

Sill OneEvery species and the whole life cycle. Rooms, pots and the lamp can all be earned by growing.Only when you ask: a short advert for 3 Leaf Points, up to three a day. None for subscribers.Optional Leaf Point packs and Plus subscriptions. Nothing you can buy makes a plant grow faster.

Sill One grows on the real calendar. That slow pace is the game itself, not a timer for sale.

The collection

Three games. Plenty of character.

Dave helps you work smarter. Here, we make room for play: little games with plenty of character, each in its own colours, each with a proper manual.

NEW / ONE PLANT, REAL TIME Three Sill One plants side by side, as the game draws them: a young Sweet Basil in its pot, Alpine Strawberries over the soil, and a French Marigold in flower

Sill One

A calm windowsill game. Sow a seed and it grows on the calendar you live on: cress in eight days, basil in thirty-five, a snake plant in months. Water it, light it, and grow the next generation. Each plant is built in 3D from real photographs of its species, and it stands in a real room, lit for the time of day.

  • Fifteen species
  • Twelve rooms
  • Up to eight pots
  • Seeds that remember

How free play works

Play for free. Extras only if you want them.

Every DoD game is complete without paying. If you would like a little extra, there are two ways to get it, and both are your choice, every time.

  1. 1

    Play it free

    Every species in Sill One, every battle mode in TankForge and all five games in Retro Casino 5in1.

  2. 2

    Watch an advert, if you like

    Only when you tap the offer, for a reward you can see first. No banners, no adverts between screens.

  3. 3

    Or pay a little, if you like

    Small, optional extras, always exactly what they say before you buy. Say no and you still have the whole game.

Will an advert ever interrupt me?

No. In Sill One and Retro Casino 5in1 an advert plays only when you choose to watch one. TankForge has no adverts at all in the current build, and no analytics or advertising SDK enabled.

Is there anything to wait for?

No energy, no lives on a timer, nothing to skip. Sill One grows on the real calendar because that is the game, and nothing you can buy, not even a subscription, makes a plant grow faster.

What does an advert give me?

Sill One: 3 Leaf Points, up to three a day; subscribers are never offered one. Retro Casino: 2,000 credits when your balance reaches zero, with no daily limit. Adverts need a connection; the rest of each game does not.

What can I pay for?

Only Sill One sells anything: optional Leaf Point packs, and the Plus and Plus Away subscriptions, monthly or yearly through Google Play, with a 7-day free trial for a new subscriber. A room, the lamp or a pot you buy is kept for good. TankForge and Retro Casino have nothing to buy.
