VertiGrid - Maze navigation, reimagined through up & down swipes. Move the grid, guide the ball, and discover the right path to the goal. Every level is a handcrafted puzzle where each swipe changes the path ahead. You never control the ball directly. Instead, you move the grid, using obstacles to guide the ball to the goal while avoiding hazards. Every solution is discovered one swipe at a time. Simple to learn. Tricky to master. How to Play: - Swipe up and down to move the grid - Guide the ball using obstacles instead of direct controls - Avoid hazards and dead ends - Discover the correct swipe sequence to reach the goal Why You'll Enjoy VertiGrid - A fresh take on classic maze games - Handcrafted puzzles designed to challenge your logic - Every swipe creates new possibilities - Instant retries that encourage experimentation - A new "Daily Challenge" every day - Clean, minimalist visuals that keep the focus on solving Designed Around Precision The ball only moves when it touches an obstacle, making every swipe a meaningful decision. The same obstacle can produce completely different outcomes depending on its angle, the direction of your swipe, and where the ball makes contact. As the puzzles become more challenging, success comes from planning ahead, experimenting, and discovering the right sequence of moves. Daily Challenge A brand-new handcrafted puzzle awaits every day. Build your streak, sharpen your problem-solving skills, and come back tomorrow for your next challenge. Ready to Master the Grid?! VertiGrid delivers bite-sized logic puzzles that reward curiosity, experimentation, and clever thinking. Download VertiGrid today and discover a whole new way to navigate a maze.
