Sidehat is an independent software studio. One idea at a time, one app at a time.
Block Wreck!
Clear or burn.
A block puzzle with a lit fuse. Drag pieces to fill full rows and columns, and only bursting lines refills the timer, so you're always racing to keep clearing before it burns out. A campaign mode that keeps raising the stakes with embers, stones, ice, and gems, and an endless mode where the only objective is to beat your own high score.

Visit the siteCell service gives out in exactly the places people gather. Festivals, campgrounds, stadiums, trailheads, a basement show with a thousand people and zero service. CrowdWire keeps your group talking anyway. Open it, and the people around you are simply there, no signal, no wifi, no accounts. It feels like something that shouldn't work, but does.

Three steps, on repeat.
It isn't complicated. We just keep doing it.
An idea we can't stop thinking about. We write it down, sleep on it, and see if it's still exciting a week later.
The smallest version we'd actually want to use. Cut anything that isn't essential. Keep what makes it sing.
Out into the App Store. Listen to what people do with it. Fix what's broken. Then back to step one.
