### 3/5 — Love Murdoku…this is close

*2026-10-05, version 1.1.2*

While the game works, there are some flaws in the terminology like hemmed up by objects but they weren’t really objects, not being able double touch a box to X it out.  Being able to zoom in out be great and a portion of the bed with books shouldn’t be a usable box but it is which is also odd.  Still an enjoyable time killer!

### 4/5 — Brain Game
