Draw. Solve. Repeat. Rectify is a number puzzle with a simple hook: draw a rectangle, make the maths work, watch it clear. Every move is a tiny puzzle. Keep solving and the board keeps breathing. How to Play Easy to learn, hard to master: • Drag a rectangle around a block of numbered tiles • When the rectangle's area equals the numbers inside it, it clears • Earn extra points with more numbers, multipliers, streaks and more • Swipe to slide every tile across the board and line up your next clear • Fresh tiles arrive after every move — so the board never sits still Keep the grid from filling up, string clears together, and push your score as high as it'll go. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • No timers, no clocks, no pressure — think as long as you like • Every board is a brand-new problem, so no two runs play the same • One-handed and pick-up-and-go — made for the commute, the queue, the couch • Two-minute breaks or hour-long runs, it fits either • Plays fully offline — no signal, no problem SPECIAL TILES Six special tiles shake up the board and open the door to big combos: • Bomb — clears its entire row when it goes • Lightning Orb — takes out its full row and column in one cross • Chain — pumps up your score multiplier for the clears that follow • Split — cuts the value of neighbouring tiles in half • Multiplier ×2 and ×3 — bank them for your biggest clears Set one off inside another and they cascade, chaining into reactions that can reshape half the board at once. MAKE IT YOURS Rectify is built to be collected. The more you play, the more you unlock: • 25 hand-crafted themes, from calm Kyoto and Ocean to bold neon and festive looks • 8 animated backgrounds that bring the board to life • Alternate app icons to reskin Rectify on your home screen • 12 animated milestone cards, each earned by hitting a new score • Game Center achievements and leaderboards to chase your friends IT GROWS WITH YOU The further you get, the busier the board becomes and the more the specials shift from gentle helpers to serious firepower. Higher-value tiles start showing up, clears get tighter, and every decision counts a little more. How long can you keep the grid in check? FREE TO PLAY Rectify is free to play. One optional purchase — Rectify Plus — removes ads and unlocks the exclusive Plus themes, alternate app icons, and animated backgrounds. Buy it once, keep it forever. Beat your best. Climb the board. Chase the perfect chain. Download Rectify and start solving.
