About DedCross

DedCross deals coloured crosses onto a grid, one after another, each one laid over the ones before it. Your job is to take them all back apart in the exact reverse order they were dealt. The game looks like a board of scattered colours but is really a stack that you unwind from the top. A cross consists of four ends and an empty middle: four squares of one colour above, below, left and right of an empty cell, with arms that can be long or short.

The scoring system works like a budget you defend rather than a counter that climbs. Each deal is worth a fixed budget with a base plus bonuses for every cross, and you try to keep the vessel full. Wrong moves or selecting crosses out of order cause points to splash out of the vessel. Clear the board cleanly and the vessel pours out in a celebration with fireworks and kaleidoscopes built from your deal's colours.

The game features tactile two-tap controls: tap the empty centre to select the cross and see its true shape with rays shooting out, then tap again to fold it up. The cross collapses into its centre and flies back to its slot on the stripe. You choose the difficulty by selecting how many crosses to deal, offering only counts that actually fit the board. More crosses mean a deeper stack, a bigger score budget, and a richer reward.

The interface is available in six languages: English, French, Spanish, German, Chinese and Russian. A single one-time premium purchase removes all advertising and unlocks larger boards, with no subscriptions or other in-app purchases.

What is a cross in DedCross?

A cross consists of four ends and an empty middle: four squares of one colour positioned above, below, left and right of an empty cell. The arms can be long or short, so the shapes vary wildly.

How does the scoring system work?

The score is a vessel you try to keep full rather than a counter that climbs. Each deal has a fixed budget worth a base plus bonuses for every cross. Wrong moves or incorrect sequences cause points to splash out. Completing the board cleanly results in the vessel pouring out with fireworks and kaleidoscope effects.

What languages does DedCross support?

The interface is available in six languages: English, French, Spanish, German, Chinese and Russian. The interface automatically follows your device's language settings.

What does the premium purchase include?

How do you remove a cross from the board?

Use two taps to clear a cross. First tap the empty centre of the cross to select it, which shows rays shooting out to reveal the cross's true shape. Then tap again to fold it up. The cross collapses into its centre and flies back to its slot on the stripe.
