About

PLOD

Features
Read full description

PLOD is a collection of four turn-based puzzle games. Every game is played on a board of nodes and the lines between them, and each one works differently. CLASSIC Move your pieces across the maze onto the nodes the other side started on. Pieces move one step at a time, can't jump, and can't share a node. 500 puzzles. Solve one in par to earn the gold star. FIREWALL A virus spreads across the network one node at a time. You place one firewall each turn to block it. Save as many nodes as you can. 100 levels. SWEEP Visit every node on the board in one unbroken path, without touching a node twice. 100 levels. BLOOM You start on one node. Each turn you tap a neighbouring colour and absorb every connected node of that colour. Cover the board in par taps or fewer. 130 levels. DAILY PUZZLES Each game has a daily puzzle: the same board for every player, replaced at 07:00 GMT. Each one has a leaderboard for the day, a streak, and an archive of past days you can go back and play. Dailies unlock after a few solves in that game. ALSO · 830 puzzles in total · Hints when you get stuck · No timer on the ladder puzzles · Plays offline · Light and dark themes · Free, with no in-app purchases
