Description
Oathslide turns a familiar merge puzzle into a tactical contest. One slide moves every light on a 4×4 board. Equal Bearers merge into stronger ranks, while the Gloom hold their ground and count down.
Strike a Gloom with enough strength, or lose a Bearer and a Hearth. Let the timers expire and Fractures block your paths. Draft relics to change the board, break the Eclipse, and rebuild before it returns.
The native app is designed for iPhone and iPad. The browser companion brings Classic runs and the Daily to a laptop or desktop, with keyboard play and optional direction buttons. A shared result links straight to the same board, so a friend can play it without installing anything.
There are no energy meters or paywalls, and nothing for sale changes how the game plays. The iOS app keeps the board ad-free and shows occasional full-screen ads between runs. The first three completed runs and the entire first sitting are ad-free. Remove Ads is an optional one-time purchase with Family Sharing. The browser companion shows none. Leaderboard names can be reported or blocked, and online data can be deleted from the game menu. See the privacy policy and community rules for details.
