"Iterative Puzzle" is a logical reasoning puzzle. HOW TO PLAY? -------------- 1. On the blank plate of the hexagonal grid, the number on the edge represents the number of black squares on the hypotenuse; 2. You need to click inference by numbers, and click the corresponding grid to calculate the correct disk pattern; 3. Once you've figured out the target pattern, you need to continue to restore the pattern iteratively: every time you click on a square, the surrounding squares change with it. -------------- We appreciate any feedback you may have and will apply it to future updates and features. With your continued support we'll do our best to turn out quality Apps.
Assimilax
Read full descriptionHide full description
Assimilax is a game of quiet conquest: spread your colour across a hex board, one pastel orb at a time, until everything on it is yours. Each turn you do exactly one thing. Pick an orb and either CLONE it to a neighbouring hex (the original stays) or JUMP it two hexes across the board (it moves). Either way, every enemy orb touching where you land is ASSIMILATED — quietly flipped to your colour. That's the whole game. No timers rushing you, no menus to wade through — just you, a hex grid, and a slow, satisfying tide of colour spreading across it. Under the soft palette is a real strategy game: • 40 hand-built levels and a gentle tutorial, laid out as concentric rings on a hex map. Start at the centre and climb outward. • 3 boss battles gate the rings. • 6 playable orbs, each with a special power that charges as you play: Coral's Embrace, Azure's Flow, Sage's Root, Honey's Glow, Lavender's Drift and Stone's Anchor. Time one right and the whole board tips your way. • Three difficulties. Easy plays loose and forgiving; Normal keeps you honest; Hard thinks a move ahead and never blinks. Lives and continues soften the fall — or don't, on Hard. • A global leaderboard — leave your three letters at the top. Everything is tuned for calm: soft pastels, a chill soundtrack, unhurried animations. Pick it up for one quick level, or lose an evening climbing the rings. No ads. No in-app purchases. No account. Works offline. Just a board to take, one orb at a time.
