Liam's 4-In-A-Row (Demo)
A downloadable game for Windows
A 4-in-a-row styled game with power-ups, local multiplayer for 2 players, and mechanics/features not usually found in 4-in-a-row games.
Choose How You Play
A variety of settings allow you to change the type of game you'll play. Play a standard match where the first player to score wins, or try your best to score more points than your opponent before your timer runs out, and more with the addition of mutators.
More Than Just 4-In-A-Row!
Mutators are optional settings that add a variety of mechanics and features that aren't usually found in 4-in-a-row games. For example, some mutators spawn power-up counters throughout a match which players can collect for unique one-time use abilities, while others apply board-wide effects to all counters.
See the table below for details about each mutator.
Mutator Name | Description |
Floating Blocks | Spawns several immovable counters at the start of a match that act as obstacles to play around and build on top of. |
Bridge-Gap | A power-up that changes the rules for placing counters to open up more ways to play. |
Bomb | A power-up that allows players to blow up several counters. |
Gravity | Pulls all counters down towards the bottom of the grid. Its strength can be changed to affect more types of counters. |
