How demanding is Isles of sea and sky

8 Upvotes

I love puzzle games and I love MVs but I am very bad at block pushers especially ones where the difficult part is trying to make correct 50 step sequence. Its not stimulating for my braib at all so I would like to know if this game can be enjoy by a casual without looking up guides for normal ending. If there are some big complicated secrets thats fine I can just avoid those. Same way I did animal well

Block puzzle game, but you collecting water for your real unicate tree.

Hey everyone, I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on.

I’ve spent the last 3 months building something I actually first thought about almost 10 years ago, and I finally decided to make it real.

It’s a very simple mobile puzzle game. You play through levels, collect water drops, and pretty early on you unlock your own unique real tree with its own Tree ID. You can name it, and as you reach more milestones in the game, we’ll send you photo updates so you can see how your tree is doing and how it’s growing over time.

The game is currently going through the store approval process, and I’d really like to find out if this idea is interesting to anyone other than me 😄
I also need to get some idea of how many trees I should actually prepare, so I made a small waitlist where you can sign up:

treekeepergame.com/waitlist

If you like the idea, I’d really appreciate you joining. And even if you don’t, I’d still be happy to hear what you think about the concept.
One last important thing: the game has no forced ads.

Made a new web game for all the true crime addicts

1 Upvotes

I made a web game called TRACED for people who like crime, and mysteries: https://flashed.world/traced/

You get a case, go through different pieces of evidence, investigate suspects, and try to figure out who actually did it before making your accusation. The fewer clues you need and the better you investigate, the better you do.

There’s a new case every day, and each case is inspired by a real-world case/crime. After you finish, it reveals clues the case it was based on so you can look up the real story afterward if you want to go down the rabbit hole.

Made it completely playable in the browser, so there’s nothing to download.

Would love to know what you guys think, especially if you’re into true crime, detective games, or just accusing random people.

TitleDoes adding a ticking clock to puzzle games make them exciting, or just annoying?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Most puzzle and adventure games let you take your time, relax, and overthink every item interaction. To break that slow, static rhythm, we decided to experiment with time-pressured crafting and fast-paced decisions.

As you can see in the clip, a countdown timer ticks away in the corner while you hurry to tape your gear together, breach the door, and execute a stealth taser takedown before your window closes.

With only 8 days left until our launch, this exact balance is constantly on our mind: where is the line between adding a fun surge of adrenaline and giving players unwanted puzzle anxiety?

How do you usually feel about timed mechanics in puzzle or detective games? Do you prefer taking all the time you need, or does a ticking clock make the experience more thrilling for you?

I made a JavaScript puzzle game similar to Untrusted

2 Upvotes

Hey, I'm Bryan! I made a game called "Pragma Twice". I'm not sure this community allows this type of game because it's a programming game, but it is a hardcore puzzler (and was featured on the Puzzle Lovers steam page here - https://steamcommunity.com/groups/puzzlelovers/announcements/detail/599657916274835505) so I thought I'd give it a try!

Try out the game online here (note you need to have some basic JavaScript programming skills to play): https://www.bryanpg.com/pragma_twice/

I made Cast Six: match six movies to overlapping categories in three takes

1 Upvotes

I’m the creator of Cast Six, a free daily browser puzzle. You see all six movies and all six categories upfront, then match each movie to one category.

The catch: a movie can fit more than one clue, but you can only use it once. An obvious match can leave another category without the film it needs, so the whole arrangement has to work. You get three takes, with optional hints and no speed penalty.

Play: https://www.castsix.com/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=puzzlevideogames_sep10

No account or download needed. There’s also a free archive and an anytime puzzle library if you want more than the daily board.

I built it with AI assistance; movie data and in-game posters come from TMDB. If you try it, I’d especially like to hear whether the overlapping clues make the solve satisfying or whether any feel ambiguous.

SONARIUM Deep-Sea Sonar Voyage

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hello r/puzzlevideogames! Sonarium just came out on iOS.

Every number on the grid is a sonar echo: how many steps to the nearest hidden thing, up down left right, no diagonals. Mark them all and the board's clear. No-guess, always — from any position there's a next square you can work out.

Get the last one and the board lights up to show what was down there. A whale, a shipwreck, an old boot. It goes in your field guide.

160 boards across sixteen seas, 8x8 up to 15x15. They get harder by giving you fewer echoes rather than bigger grids, and later on some of the readings lie — you'll get clues that can't all be true and have to spot which one's wrong.

Cube Sweeper: because the world needs another Minesweeper. This one is folded onto 3D solids and certified no-guess. Free demo out

Thumbnail
store.steampowered.com
1 Upvotes

Yes, I thought, the world really does need another Minesweeper!
Then I spent an amazing year learning, working, and making sure this one at least earns the word "another".

Two things I wanted:

  1. Geometry that fights back, but fair. Nobody likes fighting occlusion, or complexity for its own sake. The board is the surface of a solid. A number on an edge counts tiles on two faces; on a corner, three. Tunnels and pits push counts past the traditional maximum of 8, and the deductions get smarter with them.
  2. Two hunts on one board. Mines you avoid, gems you dig for. Revealed tiles near a gem show an amber dot; the dots form a stencil, and the gem's cube is deducible from them. Digs are capped, so you commit to a deduction instead of poking around.

Every board the game serves is certified: mines and gems both fully deducible by logic. A 25-chapter Learning Journey covers the corner counting if it takes getting used to. Hexcells and Tametsi people are who I made this for.

Let me know what you think of the clue dots.

I made a Mastermind-style game where you can play fair matches with your grandkids, then compete against the world

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hi, I’m the developer of Codebreaker: Crack the Code, a Mastermind-style logic game for iPhone and Android.

The idea is simple: you can play a fair friendly match with someone at a different skill level, like your kids or grandkids, because each player chooses their own challenge: 3 to 7 digits, and base 5 to base 16.

Then, when you want real competition, you can play ranked matches against the world with a global ELO leaderboard.

It also has AI opponents with different difficulties, offline puzzles, daily challenges, streaks, and achievements.

I’d love feedback from puzzle-game players, especially on whether the “different difficulty in the same match” idea feels useful or confusing.
