About

Steppin Stones

Features
Read full description

A deceptively hard puzzle that will have you thinking three moves ahead. Can you find the perfect path? In Steppin’ Stones, every move matters. Slide, plan, and connect your way across beautifully minimal levels where each stone can only move a limited number of spaces. Your goal? Reach the other side one thoughtful step at a time. How it works: - Tap a stone to choose it. - Pick a direction and move within its limit. - Strategically connect stones to create a full path to the goal. It sounds simple... until it isn’t. With each of the 18 handcrafted levels, new challenges will test your logic, timing, and foresight. Features: - 18 thoughtfully designed puzzles to relax and challenge your mind - 3 daily challenges ranging from easy, medium to hard (and they can get really hard) - Clean, minimal design — no distractions, just pure strategy - No timers, no pressure — just you and your next move Easy to learn. Hard to master. Incredibly satisfying. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
