About the Game

COSMIC HOLES is a logic puzzle game based on the 5 elements of Chinese cosmology: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water.




Here's a quick look at the relationships between these elements:
  • Water, in blue, feeds Wood, in green. We can see that the Wood element turns fast in this case.

  • Water extinguishes Fire. We see that the Fire element, in red, turns slowly in this case.

  • Wood feeds Fire. But Water always extinguishes Fire. We see that the Fire element turns at a medium speed in this case.

Characteristics


  • A relaxed atmosphere in a space universe.
  • Hundreds of logic puzzles of all levels of difficulty.
  • Laws governing the 5 elements of traditional Chinese medicine.
  • 4 logical rules to discover and respect to get out of each puzzle (see the Guide).
  • A little story around the main character, the little green one.

And for those who are too strong:
  • An environment that will be able to defend itself.
  • A challenge for the different areas of your brain that will have to cooperate a lot.
  • A dedicated area to congratulate you on your prowess.


COSMIC HOLES: strangely relaxing and explosive at the same time!
