Rules and answers to common questions. Menu names are given in Russian «in quotes», with an English translation.
1. How to play
- Players take turns placing dots on grid intersections, like on squared notebook paper. Blue moves first.
- To capture your opponent's dots, enclose them in a ring of your own dots. Enclosed dots are captured; the captured area is outlined and hatched.
- After a move, captures are checked only for the player who moved.
- Empty cells inside a ring stay playable.
Modes: against a bot (Easy, Medium or Hard; the Hard bot thinks one move ahead) or two players on one device. Boards: Small 9×9, Medium 13×13, Large 17×17.
You can undo a move («Отменить ход», Undo). An unfinished game is saved and can be continued. There is a statistics screen and a light and dark theme.
2. How is the score counted
1 point per captured opponent dot. Territory gives no points.
3. Why can't my dot at the edge be captured
This is the classic school edge rule: an enclosed group counts as captured only if it has no path to the board edge. Dots on the edge, or connected to the edge through empty cells, cannot be captured.
4. When does a game end
When the board is full or a player taps «Завершить партию» (End game). The higher score wins; equal scores are a draw.
5. Do I need the internet
No. The game works fully offline; there are no accounts and no online play. If anonymous statistics are on and you're offline, events wait in memory and are dropped after repeated failed attempts. The game is not affected.
6. Are there ads or purchases
No. The first version has no ads and no purchases.
7. How do I turn off anonymous statistics
Settings → «Анонимная статистика» (Anonymous statistics) → turn the switch off. After that the app sends no events. See the privacy policy.
8. How do I delete my data
Statistics and the saved game: Settings → «Сбросить статистику» (Reset statistics). Everything else stored on the device is deleted when you uninstall the app.
