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.

About

Doodle Ops

Read full description

Doodle Ops is a hand-drawn tactical logic game where every call-out is a puzzle. Read the numbers, identify hidden threats, mark suspected mines, and use your scanner when the situation gets uncertain. Clear structures ranging from residences and duplexes to police stations, fire stations, and more — all presented inside a distinctive notebook-style field manual. Choose Recruit, Operator, or Veteran difficulty and work through procedurally generated tactical boards where careful reasoning matters more than speed. Features include: • Tactical number-based logic gameplay • Multiple structure layouts • Three difficulty levels • Limited-use scanner assistance • Mission statistics and service record tracking • Hand-drawn notebook visual style • Optional rewarded advertising • One-time option to remove automatic ads forever Every board is a new call-out. Read the scene, mark the threats, and clear the structure. Think outside the grid.
