01What we do
Tilevane reviews puzzle games for players and families in the UK. We only write about games we have played well past the opening levels, over many evenings, and every review gives a typical sitting, the save point where it is kind to stop, who it suits, who can talk to you, what it sells once you are playing and how comfortable it is.
02Why a well?
Because puzzle players already think in pieces and lines. An evening has a fixed height, every game takes up some of it, and the satisfying thing is a stack that fits with a clear line on top. So every review is a piece sized to its sitting, and the line is the time screens go off.
03Who writes the reviews
A small team of long-time puzzle players, from logic grids and box-pushers to physics toys and big first-person puzzle worlds, together with parents who set up the family controls on every platform we mention.
04How the site is paid for
Not by anyone in the games business. There are no adverts, affiliate links, sponsored reviews or products for sale. We host no games, run no accounts and take no payments.
05Conflicts of interest
If a reviewer has a personal or professional link to a game or studio, someone else writes the review and it says so. We accept no gifts, trips or early copies in exchange for coverage.
06The artwork
Every banner is an original illustration made for Tilevane in that game’s own visual style: pastel flat shapes for one, black ink line drawing for another, neon light for a third. None of it is official artwork, a screenshot or a real person. Our tile weather vane is our own.
07Why UK English?
British spelling, UK age labels and UK support services. No pop-ups, no autoplaying video or sound and no tracking of any kind.
