Read full description

Pieces enter from any of the four sides. They slide, and they dock in the last empty cell before whatever is already there. You choose the line. The board chooses the cell. Three in a row clears โ€” but only when every attribute is all-same or all-different, judged one at a time. Colour, shape, number, and deeper in, the direction a piece faces. There is no gravity. When a piece leaves, the hole stays exactly where it was, and a hole in the middle of a line cannot be reached from either end. The board you are playing on is the board you made. HOW IT PLAYS โ€ข Three pieces wait in the rail. One is active โ€” tap another to switch. โ€ข Drag off any edge to send the active piece in from that side. โ€ข It slides until something stops it, and docks in the last free cell. โ€ข Make three in a line where each attribute is all-same or all-different. โ€ข Stuck? Tap a docked piece to pull it back, if its path to an edge is clear. Out of 1,259,712 possible triples, 20,412 clear. About one in sixty. Finding one is not luck. THE DAILY CHALLENGE The same board for everyone, everywhere, every day. One attempt. A streak you can lose. Share how you did without giving the puzzle away. DOCKIT PRO โ€ข Deep โ€” the full 6ร—6 board, where the arrow starts counting โ€ข Every helper uncapped โ€ข Unlimited daily retries One purchase. No subscription. Free is not a demo: the whole Ocean board, unlimited play, and the daily challenge every day. No timers. No lives. Nothing to wait for.

Tercet is a numbers game played on a grid. One digit is the sum of the others: the cells go. THE RULE Link neighbouring cells โ€” in a line, along a diagonal, or bending at an angle. The path crosses freely over cells that are already empty. If the digit at one end equals the sum of all the others, they disappear. Empty the whole grid to win. TWO WAYS TO PLAY Snake: the chain is any length, three cells or ten. The longer it runs, the more it scores. Trio: exactly three cells. Shorter, sharper, quicker. THE LIFEBUOY Every grid can be emptied โ€” but the order of the moves can lose the way out. When no move is left, a lifebuoy winds the game back to the last playable moment and hands the grid back untouched, one breath before the mistake. One to start with, one more for every grid cleared without spending any. WHEN IT ENDS No lifebuoy left, and the game stops. It then shows the way out that existed, move by move. THREE SIZES 9x6 to learn, 9x9 to settle in, 9x12 for no mercy. FREE TO TRY Snake and Trio each offer five free games. A single purchase then unlocks both games and every grid, for good. No subscription. IT ALL STAYS ON THE PHONE No account. No sign-up. No ads. No trackers. No network permission at all: the game cannot send anything anywhere, and it works on a plane, in a tunnel, or far from any signal. Ten languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Greek, Arabic, Japanese, Korean.
