Cleaner

Tap, swap, and scrub every dirty tile until the whole grid gleams — one wrong tap can spread the mess again.

Cleaner drops you onto a grid full of grime and gives you one job: make every tile spotless. The catch? Tapping a slot doesn't just change that tile — it flips adjacent ones too. So you'll tap a corner thinking you're cleaning it, only to watch three neighbors turn dirty and undo your progress. I lost a good chunk of my afternoon chasing a perfect clear on level 12 before I realized the key is working from the edges inward, not just tapping randomly. What kept me hooked isn't the cleaning fantasy (though scrubbing virtual dirt is oddly satisfying), it's the moment when the pattern clicks. On some levels the grid starts mostly clean, on others it's a mess that looks impossible until you spot the symmetry. There's no timer, no score pressure, just you and the tiles. It's the kind of thing you open for two minutes and then realize forty went by. The controls are minimal — just touch or click — but the puzzle depth sneaks up on you. If you like logic games that feel like untangling a knot, this one's worth a shot.

Touch in the screen to change the slots in the grid

Work from the outer edges toward the center to avoid re-dirtying tiles you've already cleaned. Try to find a move that flips only one or two tiles when you're close to done — those are your best finishing moves. If you get stuck, reset the level instead of tapping randomly; the starting state is actually a hint for the solution pattern. Notice which tiles share a flip pattern with their neighbors — some slots always change together, which narrows your options. Don't rush to clean the whole board in one sweep; sometimes deliberately dirtying a tile sets up a cleaner cascade later.
