About

Features
Read full description

The game has several modes of difficulty depending on your desire, first the choice of the size of the board and then the time of appearance of the blocks to avoid in the game. The game consists of retracing the correct path in the grid starting from one of the points of the board and joining the other point while avoiding the red blocks on your way. These red blocks appear between 0.2s and 2s at the beginning of the game and you have to memorize them in order to avoid them and find the right path. How to play ? When you launch the app, choose the size of the board you want, medium, large or both, then select the time of appearance of the red blocks between 0.2s and 2s then start the game, memorize the path and trace it. Customization For every round you win, you get a ruby that allows you to either replay the red block if you are stuck or buy different color points to customize your game. Play it for free anytime on your phone, compare your score with your friends!
