Lydex Solutions is a small independent studio in England. We build apps that are always ad-free and never collect your data. Two of them so far: a strategy game with four thousand years of history, and a spelling app for primary schools.
Era 5 of 7: Victorian A real game, playing itself
Coming soon to the App Store
The mill game the world has played since the pharaohs, restored era by era. Seven boards, from bone and flint to neon, each with its own pieces and opponents. Career mode carries you through history; quick play, a timed challenge and a local two-player mode fill the evenings.

Spelling practice that children choose to do. Built on the Department for Education statutory word lists from Reception to Year 6, with thirteen game modes and weekly lists that arrive by photo, share code or QR. Every scrap of learning data stays on the device.

We keep the studio small so we can answer our own support email and say no to anything that would make an app worse to own. Ad-free and no data collection are not features we add later. They are where we start. More about us.
