SLIDE: The Swipe Puzzle

Swipe, and the table tilts. Your magic ball rolls that way, and so does every wooden crate on the board, each one until it hits a rail, an edge or something solid. Get your magic ball into the exit in as few swipes as you can. The crates are the point. The crate in your way on your first swipe is the brake you need on your fourth. THE PIECES Wooden crates slide with you. Bolted steel blocks never move. Steel rails stop anything that meets them. A hazard stays where it is and crates cross it, but if your magic ball rolls in, the level restarts. Attempts are never scored. A PUZZLE EVERY DAY Everyone gets the same puzzle on the same date. Every daily is already inside the app, so it plays in aeroplane mode. Keep your streak going, or open the archive and play any past daily. Past days are recorded, but a daily counts for the streak only when you start it on its own day and finish it, by solving it or revealing it. A LADDER OF 110 LEVELS Four packs, from Easy to Fiendish: Easy has 35 levels, Steady, Hard and Fiendish have 25 each. Boards grow from 4×4 to 8×8, and each pack asks for more swipes than the last. EVERY LEVEL HAS A PAR Par is the fewest swipes a level can be solved in, and a solver has checked it for every level in the game. Every swipe counts, even one that moves nothing. Solve at par for three stars, one over for two, any more for one. Your score is 1000, less 100 for each swipe over par, and never below 100. HELP, WITH THE PRICE ON SCREEN Undo as often as you like. Hint shows the next swipe of a shortest line. Reveal plays the solution. Undo, Hint and Restart cost no swipes, but each caps that level at two stars. A revealed level is marked Shown and scores one star and 100. The game says so before you tap. LEARN IT IN A MINUTE How to play shows you one swipe, then hands you three short boards. It is on the home screen whenever you want it. YOUR RECORD Stats show your streak, your dailies and levels solved, how often you hit par, and how close to par you land. Leave a level at any point and it is kept for you. Share a daily's result as its stars and a row of dots that gives no part of the solution away. Reminders are optional: one a day at a time you choose, and one at 20:00 when a streak of two days or more is at stake. NOTHING COLLECTED No account, no ads, no analytics, no purchases. The app makes no network requests. Your progress stays on your phone. A Question Assembly game. J ∞ N.
