Encircle: Close the Loop

The graph-paper territory game half of Eastern Europe grew up on, rebuilt for your phone. Close a loop, take the ground. No ads, no accounts, just the game.

Encircle is the dot-territory game generations of kids played on graph paper in class, brought to your phone. Place one dot per turn on the grid. Link your dots into a closed chain around your rival's dots to capture them and take the ground inside. Every point of land you hold is ground they cannot use.

Four ways to play. Classic, the original game. Rivers, where water shapes the land and shore loops capture what they hold. Race, first to the target, decided on the spot. Wells, three golden wells worth three points each to whoever rings them.

Play a friend on the same phone with two to four seats, or climb the AI ladder: Easy to learn against, Medium to spar with, Hard when you want a real fight. Your record against the AI follows you up the ladder, and a library keeps your saved games.

A 60-second tutorial teaches the whole game. The download is free, with Classic and Rivers in full. A one-time Full Game purchase unlocks Race, Wells, the Hard AI, and the library. There are no accounts, no ads, and no interruptions. Games save automatically, so a match can live in the small moments of a day.

Close, claim, defend.
