Take every node. Win the war. NODE WARS is a fast, tactical conquest game. Every base you own produces troops each second. Drag from your base to any target to send an attack, take neutral nodes to grow your income, and break the enemy before their army outgrows yours. Matches are short, decisions are quick, and one bad move loses you the map. FOUR WORLDS, 80 LEVELS Fight through Cyber Genesis, Cosmic War, Volcanic Core and the Epic Void. Every world raises the difficulty and changes the battlefield layout. Earn up to three stars per level by finishing with more of the map under your control. TACTICAL POWER-UPS - Speed Boost: double production and attack speed for 25 seconds - Freeze Bomb: freeze every enemy node for 10 seconds - Shield: make one of your nodes untouchable for 20 seconds - Nuke: wipe out most of the troops inside an enemy stronghold BUILD YOUR EMPIRE Spend the gold you earn on a permanent Production Speed upgrade that makes your bases pump out troops faster, from one troop per second down to one every half second. Unlock six visual themes, open chests, complete missions and climb from Bronze to Diamond rank. PLAY ANYWHERE No account, no sign-up, no waiting. Your progress is saved on your device and the campaign runs without an internet connection. Full Turkish and English support.

Equalize

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.
