Free · In‑App Purchases

Sharpen your strategy with new campaign positions, smarter NinthBot play, and a deeper path beyond the opening 30 levels. Ninth Move is a strategy game built around foresight, positioning, and distinct piece movement. Every turn creates new possibilities—and every mistake gives NinthBot an opening. Command three specialized piece types: • Striders advance with controlled forward movement • Jumpers break patterns with unexpected leaps • Guards control key spaces and tactical lanes Win by reaching an opposing exit or eliminating every opposing piece. Capture three pieces to restore one of your own, turning every match into a balance of attack, defense, and recovery. PLAY THE CAMPAIGN Progress through 30 named campaign positions with changing layouts, increasingly capable opponents, and new strategic problems. The first five positions are free to play. CHOOSE YOUR CHALLENGE Begin as a Novice, sharpen your thinking as a Strategist, or face the strongest NinthBot competition at Tournament difficulty. Each difficulty maintains its own progress, records, and player rank. GO BEYOND THE CAMPAIGN Complete the campaign to unlock the Master Path: an ongoing series of increasingly demanding positions, including advanced layouts and boss-level challenges for dedicated players. STUDY EVERY MOVE Save games to the Study Room, replay them move by move, examine board notation, and explore alternative moves from key positions.
