Puzzle Game
Pick the right ops. Chain to the target. Feel briefly unstoppable.
Onward: Chains gives you a start number, a target, and a set of operation tiles. Apply them in the right order — chain your way to the target in as few moves as possible. Gold if you find the perfect route, silver for almost, bronze for finding any path at all.

Why you'll open it again
Built around the daily loop.
One daily chain
A new start number and target arrive every day. Same puzzle for everyone. One shot to find the best path — Gold if you nail the par route, Silver for one extra move, Bronze for finding any solution at all.
Operation tiles you control
Each puzzle gives you a set of operation tiles: additions, subtractions, multiplications, divisions. The right sequence chains you to the target in the fewest moves. The wrong sequence wastes tiles and costs you gold.
Gold, Silver, Bronze
Par is the minimum number of moves needed to reach the target. Hit par and you've earned gold. One over is silver. Any solution is bronze. The tier system rewards finding the elegant path, not just finishing.
Streak and archive
Keep your daily streak alive by solving each puzzle, whatever the tier. Pro unlocks the full archive so you can go back and chase gold on any day you missed.
No ads. Ever.
Onward: Chains is funded by fair unlocks. No ad breaks between puzzles, no timers, no energy bars, no coin economy. Just the chain.
Why we built it
Onward exists because arithmetic is already satisfying — picking the right sequence of operations to chain to a target is one of those puzzles that feels obvious in retrospect and deceptively tricky in the moment.
Who it is for
Daily puzzle players who like clean number games, short sessions, and that brief window of feeling genuinely clever before they second-guess themselves.
The loop
Open → see today's start number and target → pick operation tiles in sequence → chain to the target → earn gold if you find the best path → keep the streak alive → come back tomorrow.
Streaks reward showing up.
Any solve — gold, silver, or bronze — keeps your streak moving. Show up, chain it, bank the day. Perfect routes earn better grades but every day counts.
