Four Actions
Read full descriptionHide full description
Claim the hexes. Control the battlefield. Outsmart the AI. This is a minimalist tactics game built around one powerful idea: strategy doesn’t need complexity to be deep. Each of the 100 handcrafted maps is a unique hex grid filled with tight corridors, open fronts, and critical choke points. Your mission is simple — take every hex — but the path to victory is anything but. Every hex is divided into six directional slices, and each slice can hold only one of four actions: • The Fist – dominate nearby enemies with close combat • The Bow – strike from a distance and control space • The Shield – block incoming attacks and hold the line • The Bomb – shatter opposing attributes and break defenses That’s it. No upgrades. No hidden stats. No randomness. With only four choices, the game becomes a strategic puzzle where success depends entirely on positioning, timing, and smart expansion. Defend narrow passages, create firing lines, bait enemies into traps, and branch outward to claim the map — all while adapting to increasingly clever AI opponents. Easy to learn. Hard to master. Deeply satisfying.

Three pieces. One grid. As much time as you like. No ad after every round. No account. No energy bar to wait for, and no notification trying to pull you back. HOW IT WORKS Three pieces wait in the tray and you place them anywhere on the grid. Full rows and columns clear. New pieces arrive only once all three are placed — which is why every single move counts. TWO MODES Endless: no clock, until nothing fits any more. Blitz: 60 seconds, and every cleared line earns extra points. EIGHT BOARD FORMATS From 5 × 8 to 10 × 10, square and oblong. A narrow board plays nothing like a wide one, and each format keeps its own best score. YOUR COLOURS Eight colour sets for the shapes, six backdrops for the surface, with light and dark set separately. Your choice takes effect at once, mid-game. YOUR ROUND IS WAITING Put the phone down whenever you like. Next time you carry on exactly where you stopped — same board, same score, same time left, same pieces. WHAT IS NOT IN IT No collection album, no daily rewards, no friends list, no newsletter. Without Game Center the app needs no network connection at all. Built by one person, not a studio. Leaderboards run through Game Center if you want them — otherwise the button simply stays hidden.
