About the Game

Solve hand-crafted puzzles across multiple mechanics: from single-solution challenges and word-based doors, to strategy levels with companion robots, diamond-collecting mazes, and cryptic clue-based conundrums.

Features:

  • Creative, rewarding word-based puzzles

  • 'Challenging words' hidden among levels

  • Optional, progressive clue system

  • Built-in dictionary

  • Includes Level editor

  • Relaxing original guitar soundtrack

  • Re-bindable keys

  • Full or windowed (fully resizable) play

  • Level progress and undo history persist per level

Difficulty:

Recommended English level: fluent, or alternatively intermediate, in which case the built-in dictionary and clue system will help you progress and improve your vocabulary as you play. 

While the main challenge is word-based, there’s a moderately increasing Sokoban (block-pushing) element as the game progresses.
