Rediscover a classic logic puzzle, beautifully redesigned for a captivating modern experience. If you love numbers and challenging puzzles, Gridlock Numbers is a perfect match for you. Fill grids by jumping from cell to cell, following two simple rules. Move horizontally or vertically by skipping two cells, and diagonally by skipping one. Avoiding gridlock and trying not to leave an empty box behind will challenge your mind. Starting with 5x5 grid in Level 1, there are too many paths to success and you need only one of them. Place 1 on any square and then put each next number skipping double spaces for horizontal or vertical moves, single space for diagonal moves. Plan your moves ahead, see open paths, and complete the grids! If stuck in gridlock, try other paths. Undo as many times as you want or restart the game. If totally stuck, challenge yourself with other grids using the crowns you collect. With each level you pass, game board gets bigger, but not necessarily harder. There is always an option to make it harder though. Choose difficulty ‘Hard' and let us randomly decide the first cell to place 1 for you. Each number adds 10 times its value to the score. This is doubled in ‘hard’ mode. Plus, there are ‘x2' cells to get higher points and a chance to compete with top gamers on leaderboards in Game Center. • All in all, there are 6 levels with 5x5, 6x6, 7x7, 8x8, 9x9, and 10x10 sized tables. • You pass a level if you succeed placing numbers 25, 36, 49, 64, 81 and 100, respectively. • You are rewarded crowns if you can manage to put 24, 35, 48, 63, 80 and 99 even if you cannot reach the last number. If you would like to spend your time on a puzzle as compelling as Sudoku and 2048, give it a try! Can you master the grid? Good luck solving GridLock Numbers!

Logical board game with two users playing. You can play against an artificial intelligence or other players from all over the world. Each player is assigned a color and puts dots on line crossings. The players take turns to put dots of these colors on the playing field. Your task is to surround enemy dots with your dots so that all your dots can be connected together to form a fence around the enemy dots. The surrounded dots are considered "captured" and can't be used by enemy. You can capture territories even if the surrounding area has no dots on line crossings. The winner is the user who captured more dots or if one of the players surrenders. Divide and rule or divide and conquer is gaining and maintaining power by breaking up larger concentrations of power into pieces that individually have less power than the one implementing the strategy. Historically, this strategy was used in many different ways by empires seeking to expand their territories. Take the fight to your enemies, defend your sector, gather more territories of total domination and devise brilliant strategies to crush all resistance! Adventure and epic multiplayer action. Attack enemies, forge alliances and gather galaxy stars as you defend your castle from constant enemy attacks while expanding your territory. • EXPECTED POINT - Allows you to show/hide the fake hotspot feature on the battlefield with just one touch. • PLAY GAMES WITH FRIENDS - Challenge friends, climb leaderboards, and discover your next gaming obsession. Two players can play on the same machine or over a network. • SEND A MESSAGE - Send a message while playing or watching a live battle. • SHOW YOUR REACTION - Add a silly sticker, use emojis to express yourself better. • CHAT IN THE GROUP - Make plans to get together in the main group chat.
