How to Play Tango: The Balance Grid
Your mission? Balance every row and column. Each must contain equal numbers of ● (solid circles) and ○ (hollow circles). Sounds simple. It's not. One wrong move breaks the chain.

Tap a cell. Place ● or ○. Never put more than 2 identical symbols side-by-side. Horizontally or vertically. See an = sign between cells? Same symbol required. See an × sign? Opposite symbols only. Lock in patterns. Watch the grid light up green when you're right.
Grid Sizes & Progression
Start with 4×4 grids. 15 levels to unlock. Solve one. Next appears. Progress to 6×6, then 8×8. Larger grids mean deeper chains of deduction. No timer. No pressure. Just you versus the grid.
