A row of shapes appears. The same row is hiding somewhere on the board in a straight line — across, down or diagonally. Find it, slide your finger through it, move on. No words to read, no rules to learn. You are playing within a second. THREE LIVES, THREE STARS A wrong line costs a life. Finish with lives left and each one turns into a star. Finish flawless and all three are yours, plus a score multiplier. When your eyes just will not find it, a hint marks the next row — and it costs you points. THE BOARD GROWS WITH YOU You start on a small 3x3 grid and work your way up to 10x10. The shapes join one at a time, and you always meet a new one on a calm level. The test comes right after. "ONE MORE LEVEL" Difficulty is not a straight climb: levels to catch your breath, levels that push, a peak every tenth and a real test every hundredth. That is the rhythm that keeps you going. GROW THE STREAK Every day you finish a level is marked on the calendar. Come back tomorrow and the streak grows; collect stars and the badges open up. Every number comes from real play. MAKE IT YOURS Color themes, open to everyone. Of the mascots and app icons you start with one of each — Shapio Plus unlocks the rest. IN YOUR POCKET, ANYWHERE No account, no energy timers, no connection needed. Play it in a queue or on a plane. There is not one word on the board, so the puzzle is the same everywhere; menus and the in-game guide are in 54 languages. SHAPIO PLUS The game shows ads: a card under the board and a full-screen break between levels. Plus is a one-time purchase, not a subscription — it removes the ads, gives hints without watching a video, and unlocks every mascot and app icon. It does not touch the balance: lives, hint cost and score multipliers are the same whether you buy it or not.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Shapio at 15.0 against Lattice's 18.0. On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
