Terms of Use

Last updated: 13 August 2026. Applies to the Android app com.bakerly.driftile and to the game at driftile.com/play.

1. The short version

Driftile is a puzzle game. Play it, build levels, share them. Do not use it to harm anyone or to distribute things that do not belong to you. If something goes wrong, the remedy is that you stop using it — this is a game, not a service anyone's livelihood rests on.

2. What you may do

• Play the game, on as many of your own devices as you like.
• Build levels and share them, by code or through the community browser.
• Write about it, record it, stream it. No permission needed.

3. What you may not do

• Publish levels, names or text that are unlawful, hateful, or that impersonate someone else. Published text is filtered and can be reported, and anything reported can be removed without notice.
• Attack the service — automated submission, scraping at volume, or bypassing rate limits.
• Submit leaderboard scores you did not achieve by playing. Submissions are verified by replaying the moves, so a score that was not played will simply be refused.

4. Levels you publish

A level you publish stays yours. By publishing it you allow other players to download, play and rate it inside Driftile, and you allow us to store and show it for that purpose. You can ask for one to be removed at any time.

Do not publish a level containing anything that is not yours to give — a level is a grid of coloured squares, so this is unlikely to come up, but the rule exists.

5. Purchases

Purchases are handled by Google Play, under Google's terms, and refunds follow Google's refund policy rather than ours. Items you buy are tied to the Google account that bought them. Nothing purchased is required to finish the game.

While Driftile is in testing, purchases in the app are simulated: they grant their items and take no money.

6. Accounts

An account is optional. Its only purpose is to copy your progress between devices — the game is fully playable, offline and forever, without one. You can delete the account and everything stored with it from inside the app; see the privacy policy for what that removes.

7. Availability

The game runs on your device and does not need us to be online. The parts that do — the daily leaderboard, the community browser, progress sync — may be unavailable, may change, and may be withdrawn. The game keeps working without them, which is the whole reason it is built that way.

8. Liability

Driftile is provided as it is, without warranty. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from using it. Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited — including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. Your statutory rights as a consumer are unaffected.

9. Changes

These terms may change. The date at the top says when they last did. Continuing to play after a change means you accept it; if you do not, stop using the game and, if you like, ask for your data to be deleted.

10. Law

German law applies, and the courts of Germany have jurisdiction, except where consumer protection law in your country of residence gives you a better right.
