Very creative puzzle mechanic I like a lot! Like others, I got frustrated because it's hard to see what number each digit is on. Something like a highlight on hover would make all the difference.

I feel like the first few levels could introduce the concepts a bit more gradually to make sure the player understands the rules before introducing real puzzles. Level one took me over a minute because my first thought was to select an 8 (each dot having its own zone is the most intuitive solution to me), but that wasn't an option. Similarly, in level 3 you introduce "Each zone must contain an equal number of dots", which got me stuck for a while too because the obvious example to me would be two zones with equal dots. The solution of one zone containing all dots feels like a next step to me, worthy of its own level.

But the fact I'm thinking this much about it means you've found a really neat puzzle mechanic! I'd love to see it developed further.

Neat idea and use of theme. Great work!

This was such a unique puzzle game. Had me thinking long and hard. It also fit the theme very well. Nice title!

Submitted

Very genius game that uses the theme to create unique puzzles. Some QOL improvements would be nice, like an easy way to double-check what the number you're mousing over actually is. While the fact that the numbers can only go down is part of the theme, gameplay wise, it can be quite tedious if you're through a long puzzle and have just misclicked. Then you have to go through everything again!


Apart from that, it's a really solid game with a really solid execution and some really tricky puzzles. Narrative, artwork and audio were at the level they needed to be for the game. I thought to myself if a soundtrack would've been necessary. I think it certainly gets by without one. But the ambient composer in me definitely sees an opportunity for some minimalist soundscapes to inspire the mind while working on puzzles!

Extremely unique idea (and so tough!). Great job!

Submitted

Really enjoyed this game (I didn't even get past level 6 lol)

Submitted

I absolutely love the concept, basic but unique and it really makes for interesting puzzles after a short while! (Plus I'm a fan of the minimalist aesthetic ^^)

Submitted

Really like the concept — simple and original. I did eventually crack the last level, and the idea behind it is clever.

Submitted

11/10 beautiful voice acting after level 25, there's the most heavenly a cappella. Best secret message (trust me)

In all seriousness, I really enjoyed this puzzle game, great theme interpretation.

Submitted

Awesome puzzle game! On level 4 which is the first one with two-digit numbers, it took me awhile to realize that I had to click on each left or right digit for it to change. I enjoyed playing and it was a neat concept, very creative and original

Submitted

Is level 24 the end? It looks like the end, but it's confusing that there wasn't any clear confirmation :)

It's a high‑quality, stylish, and interesting puzzle game. The execution is solid. Thanks for your work! 

Submitted

Ok like. the premise of this game honestly rocks, it's super creative, both mechanically and as a fun interpretation of the theme.

Played until level 18. Really great idea!

I feel the difficulty progression could be smoother, I didn’t feel there was any increase at all even with more numbers. Perhaps if you have a solver it can grade the puzzles?

And there could be a way to add a little something extra in there, like moving dots.

I’d also appreciate being able to go from 0 to 9, and do away with the reset altogether, would be much less annoying.

Submitted

Nice puzzles! Level 15 and going; really like when numbers start bulking up. Well done!

Submitted

Very clever puzzle idea! I had a lot a fun resolving your levels. Well done!

I would make it a bit easier going up and down instead of having to reset all the time.

Submitted

Hooked me with the funny game name, captured me with the gameplay. The puzzles were very well thought out and I really like that there can be multiple solutions. 

I was impressed with how many levels there were and how they were paced leading into one another.

There are a few changes that I think would alleviate any frustration with the game and make it truly perfect:

  • highlight individual numbers when hovered
  • have the numbers wrap back around so I don't have to reset the whole puzzle when I miss the number. This was pretty frustrating with the later levels with a lot of numbers.
  • allow more attempts after pressing submit.

Good job mate! You are very smart for making this game.

Submitted

Very clean, very fun puzzle. I wish it was easier to move numbers up AND down!

Submitted

I had a lot of fun playing this game! I love the concept of using multiple 8-pin displays to create puzzles!

Submitted

Interesting idea! I would have loved to see the possibilities with a larger grid.

Submitted

There are later levels that do this! They were very interesting to solve

Submitted

I love the idea of merging the sides of multiple digits. But I would like to be able to cycle from 0 to 9 without having to reset everything though.
