Sharpen your mind with Mathgrid, the minimalist puzzle game where logic meets arithmetic. If you love Sudoku but want something faster and more dynamic, this is your new daily brain workout. The rules are simple, but the challenge is endless: You are presented with a 3x3 grid, which you have to fill with numbers from 1 to 9 (each level uses a unique set). Every grid starts with one fixed number. Between the cells, you’ll find math operators. These are your clues. Follow the intersections to deduce which number belongs in the next cell. ..:: FEATURES ::.. - Infinite Puzzles: No two games are the same. The game generates a fresh, random puzzle every time you start a level. - Zen-Like Design: Enjoy a clean, flat aesthetic with a calming color palette designed to help you focus. - Brain Training: Improve your mental math speed and deductive reasoning skills while you play. - Pick Up and Play: Perfect for a 30-second break or an hour-long deep dive. There’s no limit to how far you can go. Step into the grid and see how many levels you can master! ------------------------------------------------ XSGames (by Frank Eno) is a solo indie game dev from Italy, crafting puzzle games since 2021 Follow me on Threads or Instagram: @xsgames_
