## What is PATHLOCK?

Move your pawn or place a wall. Be the first to cross the board. That's the whole rule — and the start of a thousand decisions.

PATHLOCK is a clean, premium strategy board game where every turn forces a choice: race forward, or build a wall to slow your rival down. Walls can twist the path but can never fully trap an opponent, so the duel always comes down to pure tactics. Simple to learn in 30 seconds, deep enough to play for years.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT

• True 1v1 strategy — no luck, no dice, no pay-to-win. Just you, your opponent, and the board.
• Easy to learn, hard to master — beginners start instantly, experts find endless depth.
• Fast matches — a full game fits into a coffee break.

GAME MODES FOR EVERY MOMENT

• Pass-and-play — share one device and challenge a friend across the table.
• Bot opponents — train against Easy, Medium, or Hard AI that actually fights back.
• Online matchmaking — get paired with a real opponent in seconds.
• Private friend rooms — share a room code and start a match with anyone, anywhere.

FAIR BY DESIGN

PATHLOCK is built on one promise: never pay to win. Every purchase is purely cosmetic or a convenience like removing ads. Skill decides the match — nothing else.

PERFECT IF YOU LIKE

• Chess, checkers, and abstract strategy
• Tactical puzzles and pathfinding challenges
• Quick competitive 1v1 games with friends
• Board games with deep, skill-based gameplay

Think two moves ahead. Block the path. Lock the win.

Download PATHLOCK and start your first duel now.

### 5/5 — チーター

*2026-07-11*

横棒を出せなくさせてくるチーターがいました。

**Developer response:** ご報告ありがとうございます。ご不快な思いをさせてしまい、申し訳ございません。横向きの壁を置けなくなる問題について確認し、最新アップデートで修正しました。お手数ですが、ゲームを最新版に更新して再度お試しください。

### 5/5 — 操作性の悪いゲーム

*2026-06-20*

アプリデザインはオシャレな感じにしている割に、ゲーム自体の操作性がお粗末（笑）でプレイができない。反応がバグって棒もまともに置けない。フレンド対戦でも対戦が終わらないから一度ログアウトするはめになった。コインとか見た目とかどうでもいいから普通にプレイできるようにしてほしい。

**Developer response:** ご不便をおかけして申し訳ありません。

ご指摘いただいた操作性、壁の設置、フレンド対戦が正常に終了しない問題について、バージョン1.1.0で多くの改善と修正を行いました。

コインや見た目よりも、まず快適にプレイできることが大切だと考えています。もしよろしければ、最新版にアップデートしてもう一度お試しいただけると幸いです。

貴重なご意見ありがとうございました。
