Nanashi is a simple but exciting strategy game with a nostalgic feel of gameplay similar to Ataxx, Reversi and Othello. The rules are simple: - you must own as many pieces as possible at the end of the game - you can jump one or two cells in either direction by selecting your piece and the target - targets one cell away will clone your piece into a new one - targets two cells away will make your piece jump without creating a new piece -- the original cell will be vacated if you jump. - after moving, all adjacent cells to your new piece will turn into your color - keep an eye on your timer - the game ends where there are no moves possible or when one player captures all the pieces of the opponent The game is available in three modes: - PLAYER vs ROBOT: play against your iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch in the role of a greedy AI - PLAYER vs PLAYER: two players can play against each other on the same device - PLAYER vs WORLD: play online against other players and try to reach the top of the leaderboard
