About

Take Out!

Features
Read full description

Take Out! is a fast, chaotic strategy game with three ways to play — solo against BOB, head-to-head on one device, or online against players worldwide. Drop coloured chips into a 9×7 grid and be the first to line up five in a row — horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Simple to learn, brutal to master. Power-Ups change everything. Hidden across the board, six surprise power-ups flip the game on its head when triggered: • Remove! — Yank one of your opponent's chips right off the board. • Double! — Drop a bonus chip anywhere on the same turn. • Cascade! — Knock out the bottom chip of a column — everything above falls down. • Steal! — Swap one of your opponent's chips for your own. • Anchor! — Place a chip anywhere, ignoring gravity. • Freeze! — Lock one of your opponent's columns for a full turn. Three ways to play. • 1 Player — Take on BOB across three difficulty levels. • 2 Players — Pass-and-play on a single device. • Online — Sign in with Game Center and get matched against another player in seconds. Match play. Choose first to 1, 3, or 5 round wins. Momentum builds, scores escalate, and every round matters. Global leaderboard. Climb the worldwide rankings by winning online matches. Your stats follow you — total wins, win streaks, and head-to-head records against everyone you've played. Make it yours. Eight neon colour options — Pink, Blue, Gold, Cyan, Purple, Lime, Red, and Orange — let each player pick their own look before every match. Designed for landscape play on iPhone and iPad. No ads. No purchases. Just you, the board, and the chaos.
