Great game! Really addictive, I showed it to my partner and I didn't get the Playdate back...its been more than 1h now.

I don't know if it was something on my side but the Playdate crashed twice while playing it, had to restart. Now it seems fine, will let you know if it happens again.

Thanks for the great game!

glad you like it

Hi, I absolutely love the game! I’d also like to chime in with suggestions :)

They all come down to this: Could you add an options menu so the player can adjust things around the game to their preferences?

Now the things in detail that I’d wish for:

  • The new background is pretty, but I personally find it distracts me from the puzzles.
  • An option to mute the music would be nice. I most often play on my playdate while listening to podcasts or music, so I find myself turning the music off in basically every game I play. Of course, I can just mute the Playdate itself; it just would be nice if the game had the option.
  • I love the game, but I’m bad at these sorts of puzzles. I often fail to spot the sections I did wrong. It would be super helpful if there was an option that highlights sections that are wrong. (i.e. 3 in a row, same rows/columns, columns with unbalanced crosses and circles)
  • Last but not least, would you consider adding a way to just undo moves? Since currently there’s no way to clear a square again. Maybe either go fancy with the crank, or clear the square if the matching button for it’s current value is pressed again. (so pressing A on a circle would clear it, and B on a cross would clear it)

Check out v1.2, mute music, clear the cell are there. As for the error checking mechanism, I'm trying to find out a good solution to visually indicate, need more time :P

Awesome, thank you! :)

hi. Excellent puzzle game. Love it, some suggestions I would make would be to add music while playing, that usually make it more appealing. And maybe having some backgrounds like the main while instead of just the white background without the rules, so it feels more integrated. Besides that the puzzle is really fun :)

Sure thing, update on the road. For background, if you unlock 8x8, the background is like the main scene.
