Connect the dots and find the shortest route! But beware, the world wraps in both directions. Wisely move the screen to solve the puzzle. Stuck? Use hints to highlight the correct parts of your best attempt. A hint remains active until you improve your best route. Win hints by completing puzzles or buy them directly in the in-app shop. For each level, from 3 to 35 points, complete puzzles A to Z to unlock the random puzzle and thus extend your experience indefinitely. Note that the puzzles are defined by the proportions of the screen: thus they can vary depending on the device. P=NP is a free-to-play game and contains ads. It is possible to remove ads with an in-app purchase. Other in-app purchases enable you to get additional hints. Payment functionality can be disabled in the settings of your device.

Think you're smarter than a mindless iPhone app? Think again! HEXPAWN is just that: a computer that fits in your pocket and knows almost nothing. What does it know? Only the moves a pawn can make in chess. Oh yeah, and one other thing. Like the proverbial elephant or your seventh grade algebra teacher, it never forgets. So play HEXPAWN. You'll probably win the first few games. But every time you win, HEXPAWN remembers. And it will never make the same mistake twice... which means eventually, HEXPAWN will be impossible to defeat. Don't believe me? Go ahead. Try. See how long you can last against this brainless robot. I bet it won't be long. Enjoy this small dip into the world of machine learning and the eventual domination of the human race at the hands of our machine overlords.
