Simple to learn. Hard to put down.
▸ PASS & PLAY
Hand the phone around the table. Two to four players, one device, no setup. Perfect for a coffee break, a road trip, or waiting for the food to arrive.
▸ VS BOT
Three difficulty levels - Easy, Medium, and Hard - so you can warm up or get crushed. The Hard bot understands chains and won't hand you free boxes.
▸ ONLINE MULTIPLAYER
Host a room and share a QR code or short room code. Friends scan, jump in, and you're playing in seconds. Up to 4 players, real-time, with rematch built in.
▸ THOUGHTFUL DETAILS
• Hand-drawn aesthetic on graph paper
• Boards from 2×2 up to 20×20 - quick games or long battles
• Animated "How to play" tutorial
• Clear turn indicators and per-player colors
• Works in portrait or landscape, on iPhone and iPad
▸ NO ACCOUNTS, NO ADS, NO TRACKING
Sign in is anonymous and automatic. We never ask for an email or a password. There are no ads. There are no in-app purchases. The only thing you spend is time with friends.
That's it. It's just the game you played in school notebooks, finally on the device that's already in your pocket.
