Connect4 Vanilla Remake
A Grandmaster Opponent
$0.99 · Designed for iPad
New: play on two iPhones, iPads or Macs nearby – no Wi-Fi network needed. Plus undo against the computer, statistics per opponent device and two more languages.
Connect4 Vanilla is the classic game of four in a row – made with care, without ads and without distractions.
Drop your chips into the board, one after the other, and be the first to line up four of your colour: horizontally, vertically or diagonally. Simple to learn, surprisingly deep to master.
A COMPUTER OPPONENT WITH A PEDIGREE
The opponent is based on the knowledge-based approach of Victor Allis, whose master's thesis showed in 1988 that the game can be solved. Choose from five levels – from Beginner to Very strong. Beginners get a fair chance; at the highest level the computer plays with an opening book and deep search, and every win against it is earned.
PLAY ON TWO DEVICES
Sit across the table, each with your own iPhone, iPad or Mac: one player hosts a game, the other joins it – no Wi-Fi network and no internet needed, just Wi-Fi switched on. Every chip falls on both devices at the same moment, in timed games both clocks run in sync, and after each game a rematch is one tap away. The statistics keep your record against every device you have played.
