Tubular Tiles is back 🐢
Tubular Tiles has been dead since 2018. The database that held its layouts lived on an old server that went away, and with no layouts there was no game. It's been sitting on the games page with a "temporarily unavailable" sign for seven years, which is a very generous definition of temporarily. (The classic Subeta 🔜)
I rebuilt it. Same tiles, same music 😴, all nine layouts, and it's live right now at /games/tubular_tiles/.
Classic is the mode you remember, with a better deal: your first 15 wins a day pay 15,000 sP each, up from 10 wins at 10,000. Hints add 30 seconds and shuffles add a minute to your time, so use them when you're stuck, not as a strategy.
Free Play has no timer and no payout. Hints, shuffles, and undo are free. Just the tiles and the music.
Daily Turtle is new. Everyone gets the same board each day, your first run is ranked and pays 15,000 sP, and just after midnight the three fastest clears win 50,000, 30,000, and 20,000 sP. If your run is suspiciously fast, it gets a quick look from staff before it pays, so don't panic if yours says it's waiting.
Every board can be cleared now. The old game dealt tiles at random, so sometimes the board was unwinnable from the first move and the shuffle button was the only way out. You can also play the whole thing on the keyboard: H for hint, S for shuffle, U for undo, P for pause.
Gimme Some Fin still counts your Classic wins, and there are five new achievements on the page. Go clear some turtles. 🐢

Yay!!! Love that you have a player for the BG music at the bottom too.
Hm, seems like not quite all the fancy turtles match? Reborn and Arid(?) are both listed under the "flowers and fancy turtles" rule, but when I tried to match them it wasn't accepted.
This is wonderful! It's so nostalgic to hear that music again. I was afraid this game was gone forever. Thank you Keith!
Woah, I never even knew this game exsisted, it was before i joined.
