FEATURES • 370 handcrafted stages across 13 grid sizes — from relaxed 6×7 grids to demanding 14×18 puzzles • Smooth difficulty curve from beginner to expert • Full keyboard support — play entirely with arrow keys on Mac • 4 color themes: Mint, Berry, Sunny, Ocean • Dark mode support • Haptic feedback on mobile • Background music with toggle A pure logic puzzle. No timers, no ads interrupting gameplay, no in-app purchases. Just you and the grid.
