Reimagination and a remake of the immortal classic. Arrange the falling pieces to fill up and clear the lines. Clear as many lines as possible to advance through levels or complete various objectives. This game is inspired by the four brick falling blocks games. But instead of easy four brick pieces, where the name Tetra comes from, this game uses five bricks pieces, thus the name Penta. Of course, you are not limited to either set of pieces. Play any combination you would like and consider more fun. Fun question: Do you see the black dots when you are looking at the game title screen? Do you think they are there? Features: - Play an endless game or complete objectives. - Play individual levels or progress through the campaign. - Smooth and customizable controls. - Various difficulty levels. Controls: The controls were designed to make the gameplay smooth and enjoyable. Below are the few highlights that make this game stand out. - Tap with the second finger or swipe down to drop the piece. Of course, you can use the "Drop" buttons too. - Swipe up to stash the piece and use it later in the game. This allows for more strategic play.

Tic Tac Toe Bid War
Read full descriptionHide full description
Two careful players draw at tic tac toe every time. So we went ahead and put the squares up for auction. Each turn, one square is up for grabs. Both sides bid points in secret, and the higher bid takes it. Three in a row wins. THIRTY POINTS, AND THAT IS ALL They never go up. The loser pays too. Bid 12 on the centre and you have 18 left for the rest of the game. Hold back and your rival quietly lines up three. MATCH THE BID AND NOBODY TAKES IT The square stays empty. Only the points are gone. WAYS TO PLAY - Solo: Easy, Normal, Hard, Ultimate - Two on one device: the screen hides each bid - Online: random match, or a passphrase for a friend TWO MINUTES A MATCH Five seconds to pick a square, five to name your price. RANKS AND STREAKS Random match results move your rank. Sixteen of them, 10 kyu up to Master. How much will they throw at the centre? How far is it worth going to block a line? Is this one worth giving up for the next? Nine squares, and never the same game twice. So. What is this one worth to you?
