Surakarta: Birds on a Wire

Surakarta is a traditional board game from Central Java with a capture unlike any other: a piece leaves the board, flies around one of the eight loops at the corners, and strikes from the far side. Here the pieces are birds on power lines, and every capture is flown, not jumped. WHAT YOU GET • A three-step introduction that shows the move, the loop and the capture on a live board • Matches against the computer in four strengths, from a forgiving apprentice to a sultan who thinks deep • Two players on one device, sitting across from each other • 44 hand-checked puzzles in nine chapters, plus a new daily challenge • Ranks, statistics and 16 bird skins to earn as you play • Hints you can turn down as you improve, undo, and a move preview that shows the whole flight MADE WITH CARE • Everything on screen and every sound is drawn and computed by the app • Works completely offline, no account, no sign-in • No ads, no purchases, no tracking. Your progress stays on your device • VoiceOver support and respect for Reduce Motion Surakarta takes a minute to learn and a lifetime to master. Sit down on the wire.
