wrap is a two-player puzzle played on a 4×4 grid where the edges connect — the left meets the right, the top meets the bottom. Build a "quad" of four cells before your opponent does. Sounds simple. Then you discover the corners count as a quad too. That's the trick: cells that look far apart on the flat grid are neighbors on the donut shape the board really is. To win you need to keep track of groups across edges, diagonally, anywhere four cells share a hidden pattern. HOW TO PLAY You and your opponent take turns placing 1s and 0s. First to form a valid quad wins. 1s always go first. In stack mode, two boards sit on top of one another. A group of 8 (octet) wins the game. If no one manages an octet there is a tiebreaker to count each player's quads. The game includes tutorials on single and stack mode for more detailed instructions. Long press a cell on the board during any game to highlight its neighbors. MODES • Single — a 4×4 board, the classic game. • Stack — two boards stacked together, an extra layer of strategy. • Daily Puzzle — find every quad on today's board against the clock.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: wrap at none against Idle Painter's shown. wrap also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Idle Painter's advantage is ratings volume (32K vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
