If you are logical, you'll like this game :) Help Paul the Penguin get his flappers on some yummy fish and then find his way back home. Remember, it's slippery out there, so Paul can only slide at a direction until he hits something that blocks his way. Thankfully, you can also move the snowballs to build a path for Paul to get to the yum yum fish and back home. If you played Ricochet Robots or any other of the "logical" puzzle/labyrinth games, you'll quickly get the hang of this. If not, well, try, at minimum 3 rounds and you'll be hooked like the rest of us :) Enjoy!

About

Netherguard

Features
Read full description

Heroes have infiltrated the demon realm in disguise — and only you can expose them. Netherguard is a story‑driven logic deduction puzzle game wrapped in a dark fantasy mystery. As a newly recruited investigator for the Demon Investigation Squad, your mission is clear: analyze clues, rule out suspects, and uncover every disguised hero hiding among the demon population. No guessing. Ever. Each puzzle is crafted with one guiding rule — every deduction must be provable through pure logic. The built‑in solver enforces it: if you can’t prove it yet, you can’t choose it. This isn’t trial‑and‑error; it’s true logical reasoning taken to its finest form. What Makes Netherguard Different Unlike other puzzle games that rely on random guessing or repetition, Netherguard is built around a mathematically guaranteed logic system. Every solution is earned through reasoning, not luck. Each discovery feels rewarding, every “aha!” comes from real deduction. The Adventure Journey through multiple regions of the demon world as your investigations grow in scope and complexity. Each case introduces new suspects, traits, and layers of logic to untangle. Along the way, a fully animated visual‑novel narrative brings the world to life — with memorable demon characters and a mystery that deepens with every revelation. Features • Hand‑crafted logic puzzles with progressive difficulty • A zero‑guessing system — every move must be logically proven • Story‑driven investigations with animated cutscenes • Diverse demon and hero types with unique traits to deduce • Region‑based progression across a beautifully illustrated world map • Designed for mobile — intuitive touch gameplay For fans of Sudoku, Picross, logic grids, and anyone who believes puzzle games should respect your intelligence — Netherguard delivers a pure deduction experience you can truly master.
