Questions
Is Polycross free?
Yes. The game is free with ads. If you prefer, a one-time purchase or a monthly subscription turns off the ads between levels.
Is it on Android?
Not yet. Polycross is on iPhone first, and Google Play is coming soon.
Which level should I start at?
Everyone starts at A1. The first puzzles have a few short everyday words, and levels open one after another as you go.
Can I learn more than one language?
Yes. Progress is kept per language you learn, so you can switch and come back to where you were. Changing the clue language keeps your progress.
