A puzzle where numbered blocks become roads. Drag a block and its number drops by 1 for every square it moves. When it hits exactly 0, the block locks in place and turns into a road. Turn every block into road and connect the two dots to clear the stage. That's the whole rule. But the lower a number gets, the less room you have to move — slide carelessly and the last road won't reach. Which block, in which order, to where: a classic logic puzzle about thinking ahead. HOW TO PLAY 1. Drag a numbered block — each square it moves costs 1 2. At exactly 0, it locks in place and becomes road 3. Turn every block into road and connect the two dots 4. Walls and finished roads block the way — order matters 5. Made a mistake? Tap a road to pick the block back up WHAT KIND OF PUZZLE IS IT? It combines the deduction of Sudoku with the move-order planning of Sokoban in one game. Every stage can be solved by logic alone — no luck, no guessing. Works nicely as a daily brain workout, too. 1,000 STAGES The first boards take ten seconds; later ones will keep you thinking for minutes. Difficulty rises step by step, and new mechanics are learned by playing — no long tutorials to read. PLAY ANYTIME • Works offline — on the train, on a plane • No timers, no lives, no stamina • Quit mid-puzzle and pick up right where you left off • Hints are there when you're stuck • Free to play That moment when the last block lands on exactly 0 and the road connects — deeply satisfying. Start with the first ten stages and see.

Every tile on the board holds a number. A single target appears at the top. Your goal is simple: make every tile match it. Use operation cards such as +1, −2, ×2, and ÷3. Each card affects an entire row or column—never just one tile. Swipe a card across the board and every number in that line changes at once. That simple rule creates the challenge. Fix one tile and you may throw another off. The order of your moves determines whether the board falls into place—or falls apart. SOLVED, NOT SHUFFLED Every board is verified by an exact solver before release. The move count shown is not an estimate; it is the true shortest solution. No impossible levels. No filler. EVERY MOVE MATTERS You receive exactly the operation cards required by the shortest solution, with no extras. Waste a move and the game tells you immediately. Undo is free and unlimited. Stars reflect mistakes made while solving. Using hints does not reduce your stars. A REAL DIFFICULTY CURVE Take on 486 levels across five chapters, from Basics to Master. Boards expand up to 6×6. Later, ×3 and ÷3 introduce competing divisibility rules, while locked tiles add another layer of strategy. The final chapter is called Master for a reason. A NEW PUZZLE EVERY DAY Play one new daily board—the same puzzle for every player, available even when you are offline. DESIGNED TO RESPECT YOUR TIME • No account or sign-up • Full offline play • No timers, lives, or energy bars • Available in six languages • Optional hints that are never required to finish a level An optional one-time EQUALIZE PRO upgrade removes automatic ads and grants 60 bonus hints. Optional rewarded ads remain available. Additional hint packs are sold separately. Everything else is complete and playable without spending anything.
