Ripple Effect vs must be one

Ripple Effect is popular logic puzzle game in Japan. The solver must place one positive integer into each cell of the grid according to these rules: Every room must contain the consecutive integers from 1 to the quantity of cells in that room inclusive. If two identical numbers appear in the same row or column, at least that many cells with other numbers must separate them. For example, two cells both containing '1' may not be orthogonally adjacent, but must have at least one cell between them with a different number. Two cells marked '3' in the same row or column must have at least three cells with other numbers between them in that row or column, and so on.

must be one is a number puzzle built on a single rule — the one in its name. A grid of numbers. Four operators. Combine neighboring tiles with arithmetic and collapse the whole board down to a single 1. That's the entire game: all becomes one. It reads as obvious for about three moves. Then it doesn't. - One rule, no filler — no twenty-minute tutorial, no menus to dig through. You understand it in seconds and spend the rest of your time actually thinking. - Always solvable — every stage is generated so that a solution is guaranteed to exist before you ever see it. If you're stuck, that's on you, not the board. - A climb that keeps widening — early stages stay in single digits; later ones open the range up and the arithmetic gets meaner. - Free, and quick to pick up. One stage on the train; look up an hour later. From office-canard — a one-person studio making small, system-first games. If this one gets its hooks in, there are more small games where it came from.
