Inspired by the deduction of Sudoku, the neighbor logic of Minesweeper, and the pattern reasoning of Nonogram, FuseCells creates an original and satisfying cosmic puzzle experience. HOW TO PLAY Fill every cell with a cosmic symbol: Planet, Star, or Moon. Each number clue shows how many neighboring cells must contain the same symbol. Some puzzles use 4-way neighbors, while others include all 8 surrounding directions.
