What makes it different

FlatCube is played on a 3×3 board of rocks, papers and scissors, and each piece has its own way of moving. Sort them into a rock column, a paper column and a scissors column. Then add color layers, up to nine of them, and sort every piece onto its matching color too.

Every piece moves its own way

Rock jumps like a chess knight and can only land on Scissors. Paper steps one square and can only land on Rock. Scissors moves diagonally, into or out of the center, and can only land on Paper.

One layer to nine

Start with a single board. Each color layer you add is shuffled at the start, so a piece has to reach the right square on the right color.

See every layer at once

Tiny squares above each board square show what sits on every layer beneath it. Tap one to jump straight to that layer.

Lock a square

Press and hold a square to keep it on its current layer while you flip the rest of the board to another color with the layer buttons.

Save your view

Save Screen bookmarks how the board looks right now, so you can explore the layers and come back without getting lost.

Best scores

Every solved board is scored by moves. Your ten best are kept for each number of layers, and an unfinished game is waiting under Resume.
