Gridora is a calm, compact logic puzzle about completing a pattern one certain tile at a time. Every number tells you exactly how many of the playable tiles directly above, below, left, and right must be ON. Compare overlapping clues, mark tiles ON or OFF, and let each deduction lead to the next. No diagonals—just clear rules and satisfying logic.

Ads and online ranking require an internet connection. On first launch, the app follows your preferred device language: Korean or English, with English as the fallback. You can change the language in Settings.
