Zyl is a puzzle built around elegant path tracing. It's a small, quiet game. Soft colors, clean lines, and nothing on screen you don't need. Drop arrows on the grid to guide each path from its start tile to an exit. Pick up the stars on the way. When you're ready, hit Play and watch the route run. The rules: • Drag arrows onto the grid. • Send every path to an exit. • Pick up every star. • Hit Play to test the route. • Reset and try a new approach whenever. It starts simple, but then the difficulty ramps up: • Boards don't always use a clean grid. • Some levels have more than one start, or more than one exit. • Split arrows send a path off in two directions at once. • Merge arrows converge two paths into one. • U-turn arrows re-route a path from where it came. A few things worth knowing: • 300 handcrafted levels, each built around a single idea. • Levels stay small. Most of them can be finished in less than a minute. • Cloud save syncs your progress across devices. • Relaxing music and sound design. • No timers. • No ads. • No in-app purchases. • No data collected. Every puzzle has a solution. Some have multiple. The fun is in finding it.

About

Void Flux

Read full description

Rad! You made it, and just in the nick of time. There’s, like, bright stuff everywhere. The Void has been disturbed, flux loops have appeared all around, and the dark matter is being drowned. I’ve trapped the charges you need in our remaining dark crystals; use them to cancel these fluxes. It’s up to you to bring back the Void! VoidFlux is an electrostatics puzzle dressed up as a neon crystal toy from the 80s. Loops of light strung across a crystal hexagon of dark matter, each carrying a number, its flux, that the dark matter needs gone, and charged crystal gems below: teal for positive, pink for negative, one burning core per quantum of charge. Use each crystal, bring each loop to zero flux, and bring back the Void. Between rounds there is Wittgenstein’s Tractatus retold in 80s arcade slang, shipping in nine languages, English, Polish, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, Italian, Danish, and Latin, because an 80s Tractatus without a Latin edition would be rude. Three color-blind-friendly palettes. Game Center keeps a leaderboard and 25 achievements with their own neon artwork, and progress follows you between iPhone and iPad over iCloud. No ads. No in-app purchases. Just You, the Void, and a radical synthwave soundtrack.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Void Flux at 5.0 against Zyl's 4.7. Void Flux also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 83%) and chart position (#79 vs unranked). Zyl's advantage is ratings volume (41 vs 5) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
