## What is MachoBro?

Every line you clear moves the rescuer one step forward — a fresh take on block puzzles where you solve with footsteps to save trapped puppies. Tired of puzzles where you just clear blocks? This one is different.

[Rescue the Puppy — the star mode of this app]
Clear lines on the 8×8 board to bank "steps," then tap to move your muscular rescuer that many spaces. Smash through walls of obstacle blocks by clearing the rescuer's own row or column, carve a path through the maze, and reach the puppy waiting at the end. Which line to clear, where to step next — every move is a step-management puzzle.
・50 stages, with multi-puppy rescue goals
・Fixed deck order per stage — retry the same board until you crack it
・Run out of moves with too few steps left and it's game over. Plan ahead.

[Endless Rescue — solo play, anytime]
A relaxed ruleset with no obstacle blocks. Clear lines to bank steps, rescue the puppies that keep appearing, and chase a high score. Combos add bonus points. Perfect for a quick brain teaser.

[Play Together — 2 Player Rescue Race]
・vs CPU — Three difficulty levels: EASY / NORMAL / HARD. Both boards share the same layout; the first to rescue the puppy wins. Break obstacles by clearing lines to send them onto your opponent's board.
・Local — Auto-pair two nearby iPhones via Wi-Fi/Bluetooth for a real-time rescue race.

Great for a quick brain teaser or a deep grind — your call.
