About

TapTop 5

Features
Read full description

"TapTop 5" is a beautifully designed territorial board game with single and two-player modes. Place shapes on the grid, claim most of the board, and outmaneuver the other side until there are no legal moves left on the board. ## TWO WAYS TO PLAY Solo: Face an AI opponent with three difficulty levels (Casual, Even, Sharp). Friendly Pass: Pass and play with a friend on your device. Note: No second account needed. Works on iPhone and iPad. ## HOW IT WORKS - Tap (or drag your finger) to place shapes of 1 to 5 cells onto the grid. - Each new piece must diagonally touch one of your own colors and never share a side edge with another piece of the same color. - Your first piece has to cover your starting corner. - The match ends when no color can be placed anymore. - Whoever places the most cells wins. ## WHAT MAKES IT TAPTOP 5 - Draw your own piece. You control the shape you place, not a fixed tray of pre-cut polyominoes. - Three AI difficulties. Casual plays freely, Even balances, Sharp expands fast. - Modern design. Clean cream UI, original typography, smooth animations. - Accessibility built in. Color-blind patterns, left-hand mode, sound toggle, and persistent corner hints for new players. - Drawer pull-up. Pull the score dock upward to end a match without leaving your flow. - Opponent move highlight. See exactly where the other side just placed. - No accounts, no ads, no internet required. ## WORKS ON BOTH DEVICES OFFLINE - TapTop 5 plays great on iPhone and scales up cleanly on iPad. - Friendly Pass mode is especially fun on iPad with two players sitting across from each other. - Works without any internet/network connection. ## WHO IT IS FOR If you love Blokus, abstract strategy, brain games, tile-laying puzzles, or simple board games you can pull out anywhere, TapTop 5 is built for you. Super fun for travel, family gatherings, or parties (party game). Take over. Cover the board. Tap your way to the Top.
