About the Game

Overview

The purpose of this game is to lead a group of 16 Newbinis from where they're being held to a beautiful valley where they can live in peace.  You do this by solving logic puzzles based on the group of Newbinis you decided to take as well other combinatorics puzzles.

**This is inspired by, and a love letter to, the old Zoombinis game.

Gameplay

You first select a group to traverse the land with.

Then you are taken to the map, which you proceed across, solving puzzles along the way.

At the end, your group is safe!  That doesn't mean you can rest easy, however, because there are still more to free.  You go back to the Jail Cell and begin the journey again, maybe taking a different path than before.

Features

  • 12 different puzzles

  • Each puzzle has 4 difficulty levels

  • The final village has trophies and buildings you can construct by saving more and more Newbinis - trophies are obtained by beating each puzzle perfectly on each difficulty
