Tricky Planner

Fish rarely line up neatly, and that is exactly the problem in Tricky Planner. You get a grid full of small, animated fish, and your job is to fence them into perfect squares.

It sounds easy until your lines start running out. This puzzle game rewards players who stop, study the whole grid, and plan before they draw anything.

Colorful underwater scenes and a soft soundtrack keep the mood calm. Your brain will still be working hard on every single level.
