SlideIt is an Android path puzzle: drag one line from 1 through every cell of the grid, passing the numbered checkpoints in order and steering round walls and barred squares. Daily SlideIt gives every player the same new grid each day, with a streak and a calendar of past days, and the app adds a timed rush, classic levels and head-to-head races.

About SlideIt

SlideIt is a small logic puzzle app for Android from MxaGames. The idea is the same in every mode: a square grid holds a few numbered cells, some cells crossed out and some red walls between neighbouring cells. You start on 1 and drag a single line from cell to cell, up, down, left or right, until it has passed through every open cell exactly once, reaching the numbers in order and finishing on the last one.

The daily mode, Daily SlideIt, puts up one new grid a day that is the same for everyone who plays it. The home screen tells you the size of today's board and how many numbers, barriers and walls it has, for example a 6x6 grid with 2 numbers, 3 barriers and 6 walls. Solving it adds a day to your streak. A monthly calendar shows which days you have solved and lets you play the ones you missed, and players who sign in with Google can be credited as the day's first solver.

Around the daily there is plenty more to play. Classic Mode is a run of hand-made levels from 4x4 up to 8x8 with a best time on each. SlideIt Rush starts you with 30 seconds and adds three seconds per solved grid while the boards grow, with a global leaderboard. Versus puts two players on one phone with the same puzzle top and bottom, and 1v1 Online races a friend you invite with a six-digit code. A Puzzle Builder lets you design grids and share them by code.

The daily, Classic, Rush, local Versus and the builder all work offline and without an account; signing in is only needed for the leaderboard, online matches, daily credit and syncing streaks. The app is free and shows ads. It suits players of LinkedIn's Zip and other one-line puzzles who want a version on their phone with a daily board and more to do after it.

How to play SlideIt

Open the app and tap Daily SlideIt to load today's grid.
Put your finger on the cell marked 1 and drag the line into a neighbouring cell, up, down, left or right.
Keep drawing through every open cell exactly once, skipping the crossed-out cells and never passing through a red wall between two cells.
Reach the numbered cells in order and finish on the last number with every open cell filled.
Use Clear to wipe the line and start again; solving the daily adds a day to your streak.

Tips

Look at the corners and at cells boxed in by walls first: a cell with only two open neighbours tells you exactly how the line passes through it.
The last number is where the line ends, so work backwards from it as well as forwards from 1.
