Most grids consist of 10x10 boxes, but there are also 6x6, 8x8, 12x12 and 14x14 grids. The aim is to fill a grid with ones and zeros. In a given puzzle are already some boxes filled. You must fill in the remaining boxes which must respect the following rules: RULES 1. Each box should contain a "1" or a "0". 2. No more than two similar numbers next to each other in a row. 3. Each row should contain an equal number of zeros and ones (14x14 grids at each row/column 7 ones and 7 zeros). 4. Each row and each column is unique (No two rows and columns are the same). Every binary puzzle has only one correct solution, this solution can always be found without gambling! The first click on the empty field sets the field to "0", a second click to "1", a third click empties the field. Simple rules but hours of puzzle fun. GAME FEATURES - 4 difficulty levels - 5 grid sizes (6x6, 8x8, 10x10, 12x12, 14x14) - 2000+ puzzles (no hidden in-app purchases, all puzzles are free) - Search for errors and highlight them - Automatic saving - Supports tablets - Check for errors and remove them - Get a hint or the complete solution when you want - Go steps back and forth - A great workout for your mind TIPS Find duos (2 same numbers) Because no more than two of the same digits may be next to or placed under each other, duos can be complemented by the other digit. Avoid trios (3 same numbers) If two cells contain the same figure with an empty cell in between, this empty cell can be filled in with the other digit. Fill rows and columns Each row and each column has the same number of zeroes and ones. If the maximum number of zeroes has been reached in a row or column it can be filled in a one in the other cells, and vice versa. Eliminate other impossible combinations Make sure that certain combinations may or may not be possible in rows or columns. If you like LogiBrain Binary, please take the time to give us a nice review.

What is Futoshiki? Futoshiki is a funny logic puzzle game from Japan. In this game you need to fill all cells with numbers. Some cells can be filled initially, the rest is filled by the player. The game is very similar to the game "Sudoku", but it has a difference. On the playing field, in addition to numbers, there may also be signs (more, less). The sign between two cells means that one number is greater than the other. A correctly filled square must satisfy the following three conditions: 1. The numbers in each line should not be repeated. 2. The numbers in each column should not be repeated. 3. If there are signs (arrows) on the field, then the condition must be met. (One number is smaller than the other). Levels. In the program you can choose 6 difficulty levels (4x4, 5x5, 6x6, 7x7, 8x8 and 9x9). The larger the square, the more difficult it is to go through. If you play Futoshiki for the first time, we recommend that you start with a 4x4 square. At each level of complexity you will be offered 2000 unique game levels. The higher the number the more difficult. (Level 2000 is the most complex). How to play? To change the value of a cell - first select it, and then click on the numbers at the bottom of the screen to put a number in the cell. You can put several numbers in one cell at once, but the level is considered passed, when in each cell there is only one number. If you want to remove a number from the cell, select it and click the corresponding number in the bottom of the screen.
