Herugolf is puzzle game. The rule is simple. 1. Advance the golf balls to the holes using a series of strokes. 2. The number in a ball indicates the length of the first stroke; any subsequent stroke must be 1 less in length than the preceding stroke. 3. A stroke moves the ball horizontally or vertically; the direction may change at every stop. 4. A stroke cannot stop in a water; a cell can be traversed at most once; i.e. strokes cannot cross or overlay.

A puzzle where numbered blocks become roads. Drag a block and its number drops by 1 for every square it moves. When it hits exactly 0, the block locks in place and turns into a road. Turn every block into road and connect the two dots to clear the stage. That's the whole rule. But the lower a number gets, the less room you have to move โ€” slide carelessly and the last road won't reach. Which block, in which order, to where: a classic logic puzzle about thinking ahead. HOW TO PLAY 1. Drag a numbered block โ€” each square it moves costs 1 2. At exactly 0, it locks in place and becomes road 3. Turn every block into road and connect the two dots 4. Walls and finished roads block the way โ€” order matters 5. Made a mistake? Tap a road to pick the block back up WHAT KIND OF PUZZLE IS IT? It combines the deduction of Sudoku with the move-order planning of Sokoban in one game. Every stage can be solved by logic alone โ€” no luck, no guessing. Works nicely as a daily brain workout, too. 1,000 STAGES The first boards take ten seconds; later ones will keep you thinking for minutes. Difficulty rises step by step, and new mechanics are learned by playing โ€” no long tutorials to read. PLAY ANYTIME โ€ข Works offline โ€” on the train, on a plane โ€ข No timers, no lives, no stamina โ€ข Quit mid-puzzle and pick up right where you left off โ€ข Hints are there when you're stuck โ€ข Free to play That moment when the last block lands on exactly 0 and the road connects โ€” deeply satisfying. Start with the first ten stages and see.
