About

Draggio

Read full description

Navigate a neon grid one step at a time. Pick up glowing shapes, build a trail behind you, then drop them onto their matching spots in order. Simple to understand, hard to master. Enemies patrol the board. Some follow fixed paths, others chase you down, and a few are smart enough to cut you off. One wrong step costs you everything you're carrying. The board doesn't pause. Plan your route or improvise fast. Complete each level in as few moves as possible to earn a perfect score. Hand-crafted levels, new ones added over time. Controls: D-pad. Available in English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, and Dutch.
