Connect 4 Online on Apogee Log is a fast, mobile-friendly strategy duel set in a mission-control theme. Drop colored discs into a vertical 7×6 grid and connect four horizontally, vertically, or diagonally before the AI does. You always move first — choose Easy for a capable opponent or Hard for a deeper search AI that blocks threats and fights for the center.
How to Play Connect 4
Select Easy or Hard, then drop a disc by clicking or tapping a column. On desktop, hover to preview your drop. Keyboard players can move with Left/Right and drop with Enter or Space.
Connect 4 Rules
Players alternate turns. Discs fall to the lowest open slot in a column. The first to form a line of four identical discs wins. If the board fills with no winner, the game is a draw.
Connect 4 Strategy Tips
Control the center columns, watch for three-in-a-row threats, and look for double threats that force a win on the next move. Blocking the AI is as important as building your own line.
How to Win at Connect 4
Force situations where you create two winning threats at once. On Hard mode the AI will try the same — stay a step ahead by scanning every column before you drop.
