Slither Runner is a Slitherlink puzzle game with a marathon twist: every puzzle you solve takes you 1 km further down the course, and you can see how far other players have run. HOW TO PLAY Connect the dots to make a single loop, with no crossings or branches. Each number shows how many of the four sides around it are part of the loop. Tap between two dots to draw a line, tap again to mark it with an ×, and tap once more to clear it. FEATURES - 4,300 puzzles across five marathon courses: 100 puzzles each on 4×4, 6×6 and 8×8 boards, plus 1,000 on 5×5 and 3,000 on 5×6 - Tap Back on a puzzle and your lines are saved, so you can pick up where you left off - Undo and Clear buttons - Pinch to zoom the board in and out, and drag to move it around - Change the background color, or switch to colorful numbers - Play in English or Japanese RUN WITH OTHER PLAYERS Most puzzle games are only about solving puzzles. In Slither Runner, register a runner name from Option and you appear on the Marathon situation screen, where you can see how far other runners have gotten on each course. Finish a course to give your runner a new piece of gear. You can delete your runner from Option at any time. Slitherlink is also known as Loop the Loop, Fences and Number Line.
