The network is scrambled. Turn the cable tiles until every computer is connected to the server in the middle — with no loose ends. Netwalk Zone is the classic rotation puzzle, rebuilt for a phone: tap a tile to turn it, long-press to lock the ones you are sure of, and watch the network light up as it comes back online. FOUR LEVELS • Novice, 5 Ɨ 5 — learn the moves in under a minute • Normal, 7 Ɨ 7 • Expert, 9 Ɨ 9 • Master, 9 Ɨ 9 with edges that wrap around: a cable leaving the right edge comes back in on the left A DAILY PUZZLE A new puzzle every day, at your level: Novice to begin with, then the level you play most. Solve it every day to build a streak. PAR AND STARS Every puzzle knows the fewest taps that solve it. Match par for three stars, and chase your best time and fewest moves on every level. MADE TO PLAY ANYWHERE • Endless puzzles, all generated on your device • Works offline — no account, no sign-up • Your puzzle in progress is saved the moment you make a move • Stuck? A hint turns one tile the right way and locks it Free to play, supported by ads. A single optional purchase removes the ads for good.
