Word game · On the App Store

Word Duel

A hidden word. Six hearts. One letter at a time. Right letters fly onto their dashes; wrong ones drop into your misses and take a heart with them.

  • Solo words with no clock, and a doubled score for perfect ones
  • Duel a friend or a random rival: best of 3, 5 or 7
  • 500 levels, 71 avatars, in English, French or Spanish

Drawing runner · Coming soon

Inki Run

Your runner never jumps. You draw the way: bridges over holes, ramps over rocks, roofs against falling stones and walls that stop cars.

  • 120 stages in 12 chapters, each with a Sprint and a Boss run
  • 7 rides, from bicycle to hoverboard, and each takes a hit for you
  • Endless mode: one life, faster and faster

Inki Ace

Hold and drag to fly. Your guns do the rest. Refuel at gas stations in the sky, grab weapons in the air and take on 10 bosses in 100 stages.

  • 10 worlds, from Harbor Bay to the Blot Citadel, with sandstorms, blizzards and lava
  • 25 aircraft: classic planes, helicopters, jets and future craft
  • Special missions: rescues, bombing runs, escorts and recon

How we make games

Simple to start.
Hard to put down.

Every game starts with one idea you can explain in a sentence. Then we spend months making it feel fair, readable and quick, so the challenge is the game and never the controls.

One thumb

Tap a letter, draw a line, hold and drag. If you can use a phone, you can play.

Learn in a minute

Every game teaches itself: a guided first word, a practice run, a Flight School.

Day or night

Light and dark looks in every game, so late-night runs are easy on the eyes.

Free to play

Free to download on iPhone and iPad, and no account needed to start playing.

“If you lose, it should be because of your line. Never because of a cheap trick.”
The studio

Favalia is a small independent studio in Montréal, Québec. We design, draw and build every game ourselves, and every stage is checked to be beatable before it ships.

We like games that are quick to pick up and hide a surprising amount of depth: duels decided by a single letter, ten bosses drawn in ink, and a runner who trusts you with every line.
