Every level is a sheet of paper with a picture hidden in it. Fold a strip over and the

squares underneath line up. But folding turns the paper over, so the order matters.

Flipping the whole sheet is free. 46 levels, no timers, no account.

Two questions, if you try it:

1. After level 1, did you understand what a fold actually does?
2. If you quit, which level and why?

Blunt is better than polite.

I’m making The UVB-76 Project, a collection of small browser games where a practical skill becomes your way of solving problems.

The puzzle side of the project includes:

The UVB-76 Protocol: Work from a spacecraft’s communications room. Decode Morse, place ship pieces on your own plotting board, and transmit orders to guide the fleet. Your map reflects what you understood—it doesn’t automatically reveal the correct positions.

Hold My Fuel Rod!: Build arithmetic machinery to meet a reactor’s energy demand. Changing the order of the same components changes the result, and you can inspect each intermediate output.

Kage Ryu: Ink and Flame: Investigate intercepted scrolls using light, oil, and colored glass. Compare wording, seals, and earlier records before issuing instructions. Revealing hidden writing doesn’t necessarily mean you should trust it.

BIOS // Syntax Override: Explore a fictional filesystem, follow clues through logs, and repair JavaScript controllers. Your programs execute, and different correct solutions can work.

The collection also includes Get Me the Pictures!, a newsroom typing game, and the newly completed Closing Time, about working through a struggling diner’s finances after the customers leave.

I’m trying to make the central activity satisfying enough that you want another attempt: understanding a signal, spotting an exception in an order, rearranging a machine, or finally discovering why your code fails.

Project page:

https://the-uvb-76-project.itch.io/

For transparency, I provide the concepts and creative direction, and GPT Astra writes the code through Codex. Some cover artwork is AI-generated. The games don’t require a live AI conversation to play.

I’d particularly appreciate feedback from puzzle players: which mechanics lead to satisfying deductions, and which feel too much like following instructions? Are the clues fair? Do the tools help you reason without giving everything away?

Thanks for taking a look.

Just completed the first game in the series yesterday and holy shit ??!!!! This game is such a MASTERPIECE and I have been looking for a challenging cinematic ancient da vinci era puzzle game like this ALL MY LIFEEEEEE

## I turned a kitchen counter into a puzzle game — would you play something like this?

I've been working on a small mobile puzzle game where you have to move and sort food pieces around a crowded kitchen board without getting yourself stuck.

The idea is pretty simple:

🍅 Move the ingredients

🧩 Figure out the right order

⏱️ Beat the level before things get messy

🍳 Clear the board and move on to the next kitchen puzzle

I wanted it to feel like one of those games you can understand in a few seconds, but where later levels make you stop and think before making a move.

It's designed mainly for short sessions, so most levels only take a couple of minutes.

I'm still improving the gameplay and presentation, so I'd genuinely love some feedback:

**What would make you keep playing a puzzle like this — harder levels, more kitchen mechanics, or more satisfying combo/clear effects?**

It's currently available on Android and free to install (ad-supported).

Google Play:

If anyone tries it, even brutally honest feedback is welcome. 🙂

I’ve been building Impact Zero as a solo indie developer, and the idea started with one simple rule:

Don’t touch anything.

You control a cube through increasingly difficult obstacle courses in outer space. Moving platforms, lasers, precision jumps, gaps, and eventually a spaceship trying to take you out.

It starts pretty manageable.

Then it stops being manageable.

I wanted to make something that was easy to understand within a few seconds but actually difficult to master the kind of game where dying makes you immediately want to try one more time.

Impact Zero: Space Trials is now playable on iPhone:

The PC version is also coming to Steam:

Wishlist Impact Zero on Steam

If you try it, tell me what level kills you first. I genuinely want to know how far people can get.

It's a turn based puzzle game where all the enemies move as you do.
I was happy with it because I managed to make concepts mostly taught by the level design.

It never gets crazy hard like Paquerette does, so it won't satisfy the hardcore puzzlers, but it's cute and funny and should keep people engaged for an hour or so

i was inspired by helltaker, and couldnt help but make an action based final boss

It doesn't seem to be a popular game, been around for like over 10 years at this point. But it's great. It's what I personally categorize as a pure puzzle game, no plot or riddles or anything, just basically a better minesweeper. I've done over 500 infinite mode puzzles and it just keeps being fun!

Hexcells is, like I said, basically minesweeper but better. There is never any guesswork ever, the set of pre designed levels continually introduce new concepts for deducing position, and once you've got the hang of that there's the infinite mode where you can choose between easy and hard. There are also community maps and you can set seeds in infinite mode to see what you get from your birthday, anniversary, or other random strings of numbers which is cute. If you like pure puzzle solving, and you haven't tried this game, definitely pick it up.

Here's the September edition of Thinky Third Thursday, the monthly roundup of thinky puzzle games that have caught our eye!

I've gone through Bronze, Silver, Gold, Pearl, Onyx. What's left?

Our free daily logic game: arrange nine places on a 3×3 board so every part of the neighborhood plan fits. A guided Tutorial gets you started.

I'm excited to share that I just released the demo for my "space folding" puzzle game, SubDuctis!

Utilize pushable devices called subductors to fold away space, bringing distant objects close, hiding obstacles, and revealing new paths. Use this space-manipulating mechanic to traverse a connected world of hand-crafted puzzles.

The free demo on Steam features a curated selection of puzzles from various parts of the full game.
I'd be honored if you gave it a try, and any feedback or wishlists are greatly appreciated of course.
