Logical board game with two users playing. You can play against an artificial intelligence or other players from all over the world. Each player is assigned a color and puts dots on line crossings. The players take turns to put dots of these colors on the playing field. Your task is to surround enemy dots with your dots so that all your dots can be connected together to form a fence around the enemy dots. The surrounded dots are considered "captured" and can't be used by enemy. You can capture territories even if the surrounding area has no dots on line crossings. The winner is the user who captured more dots or if one of the players surrenders. Divide and rule or divide and conquer is gaining and maintaining power by breaking up larger concentrations of power into pieces that individually have less power than the one implementing the strategy. Historically, this strategy was used in many different ways by empires seeking to expand their territories. Take the fight to your enemies, defend your sector, gather more territories of total domination and devise brilliant strategies to crush all resistance! Adventure and epic multiplayer action. Attack enemies, forge alliances and gather galaxy stars as you defend your castle from constant enemy attacks while expanding your territory. • EXPECTED POINT - Allows you to show/hide the fake hotspot feature on the battlefield with just one touch. • PLAY GAMES WITH FRIENDS - Challenge friends, climb leaderboards, and discover your next gaming obsession. Two players can play on the same machine or over a network. • SEND A MESSAGE - Send a message while playing or watching a live battle. • SHOW YOUR REACTION - Add a silly sticker, use emojis to express yourself better. • CHAT IN THE GROUP - Make plans to get together in the main group chat.

Read full description

Hack the Code is a logic and deduction game where you need to crack your opponent’s secret code before they crack yours. Set a code made of digits, make guesses, and get hints: how many symbols are guessed correctly and in the right place, and how many are guessed but in the wrong place. Every move brings you closer to the solution. PLAY THE WAY YOU LIKE • Single-player — practice against a random code and sharpen your strategy • Two-player over Wi‑Fi — two phones on the same network, no internet or registration required • Two-player on one device — pass the phone to your opponent after entering the code and after each move • Match series — the score carries over between rounds, so you can play all evening CUSTOMIZE THE MATCH TO YOUR LIKING • Code length from 3 to 6 symbols • With or without repeats — you decide how hard the puzzle will be • Two win modes: “Decisive move” (with a chance of a draw) or “First to guess” • Three types of hints: counter, symbol highlighting, or locking in correct positions • Attempt history — show everything, only the last attempt, only hints for it, or hide completely • Personal history in two-player mode — each player sees only their own moves; opponents can’t peek at each other’s attempts WHO THIS GAME IS FOR Hack the Code will appeal to those who love board-style logic games, puzzles, and short battles of wits. One match takes a couple of minutes; a series can last all evening. Play at home around one table, over Wi‑Fi with a friend in the next room, or solo when you want to train your logic.
