Drop heavy metal discs into a steel grid and line up four! Play the computer, a friend, or online world opponents.
About the game
Four in a Row is a strategy duel where you take turns dropping discs, trying to line up four of yours across, down or diagonally. In this version the board is an industrial grid of bolted, brushed steel, and the discs are heavy plates of orange forged metal and cold blue steel. Pick a column and a crane claw releases your disc: it slams down, bounces into place and throws sparks and dust while the screen shakes. When four connect, an electric arc snaps between them. Against the computer, Easy is a warm-up, while Hard calculates four moves ahead, building its own lines and cutting yours. You can also take turns with a friend on the same device. Online, Play with a friend creates a five-character room code and an invite link, so your friend can join from another phone or another city. Find a world opponent matches you at random with someone who wants to play right now. Online matches give 30 seconds per move, show whose turn it is with your rival's nickname, and start a rematch when both players press it. There is no chat, only quick reactions. Every match is a three-round series, and the first to win two rounds takes it.
