THE BREAK Work through 100 named Cellblocks, each containing 20 Cells, for a 2,000-Cell campaign. Every layout has a verified optimal route. Match it to earn an S grade, or take your time and solve the Cell your own way. There are no timers or move limits. YARD TIME Step outside the campaign for an endless, unranked mode containing 2,048 distinct layouts. Skip any Yard Time layout without penalty.
