A traditional board game from Central Java, played on a grid of wires.
Surakarta is a traditional board game from Central Java. It is played on a six-by-six grid whose lines are joined at the corners by eight loops. A piece moves one step along a line, and it captures by travelling out along a wire, around one of those loops, and striking an opposing piece head-on — the loop is what makes the game its own. In this version the pieces are two flocks of birds sitting on power lines, and every capture is flown, not jumped. The app is a complete offline game: a guided introduction, matches against the computer at four strengths, two players on one device, puzzles, and a daily challenge. It needs no account and no internet connection.
Questions, bug reports and suggestions all go to the same place. Write to the developer by email and you will get a personal answer, usually within a few days.
If you are reporting a problem, it helps a lot to include:
The game stores its progress only on your device, so please describe the situation rather than sending files — there is nothing on a server for anyone to look up.
The rules are short but the capture takes a moment to click. Open How to Play from the main menu for a three-step introduction that shows the move, the loop and the capture on a live board. You can replay it at any time from the main menu or from the pause screen; nothing in the game is lost by doing so.
The game collects nothing at all. There are no accounts, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking, and your progress never leaves your device. The full statement is on the privacy page.
