HexReversi

Features
Read full description

HexReversi reimagines the classic Reversi (Othello) on a hexagonal honeycomb board, creating an entirely new strategic experience. Why Hexagonal? Traditional Reversi uses a square grid with 8 flanking directions. HexReversi's hexagonal board features a unique 6-axis symmetry. Fewer directions doesn't mean simpler โ€” every move requires rethinking spatial relationships. Your square-board instincts won't help you here. Hexagonal Honeycomb Board Leave the 8ร—8 square grid behind. On a hex grid, 6 flanking directions create a fresh spatial challenge where game outcomes are harder to predict. Three Board Sizes From a compact 19-cell board to an expansive 91-cell battlefield. Smaller boards mean intense close combat; larger boards reward long-term planning. Three AI Difficulty Levels Easy mode for beginners, Medium for a fair challenge, and Hard mode where the AI calculates multiple moves ahead for a truly competitive match. Local Multiplayer Challenge a friend face-to-face on the same device, taking turns like a classic tabletop game. Helpful Tools - Move hints: highlights all valid positions to help you learn - Undo: experiment with new strategies without fear - Tutorial: get started in minutes with a visual guide Achievements & Statistics Track your wins, streaks, total flips, and more. Unlock 10 achievements as you progress from first victory to board domination. Beautiful Themes Three handcrafted visual themes with sound effects and haptic feedback for an immersive experience. Whether you're a Reversi veteran looking for a fresh twist or a strategy fan seeking a new challenge โ€” try rethinking the game on a hexagonal board.

About

Signal Loom

Read full description

Signal Loom is an original puzzle game built around signal transmission and state programming. Place signal-processing modules on a 2D grid to route signals from emitters to receivers โ€” while meeting specific state conditions. This is not a simple connect-the-dots or pipe-laying game. Each signal carries five distinct attributes: direction, strength, noise, color, and time-step. You design signal processing flows like writing a program, crafting the exact logic needed for each puzzle. MODULES - 9 unique signal-processing modules: Conductor, Turner, Splitter, Merger, Amplifier, Compressor, Delayer, Converter, and Shield - Each module transforms signal attributes in different ways โ€” split paths, boost strength, filter noise, shift color, or synchronize timing ENVIRONMENTS - 5 terrain types: open cells, walls, interference zones, attenuation zones, and fixed equipment - Terrain shapes your strategy โ€” interference adds noise, attenuation drains strength OBJECTIVES - 6 objective types: signal arrival, strength threshold, noise ceiling, color matching, multi-path synchronization, and full coverage - Later levels combine multiple objectives into complex, layered challenges PROGRESSION - 7 chapters, each introducing one new mechanic - 14 handcrafted levels with carefully tuned difficulty curves - From basic directional routing to multi-dimensional signal orchestration Every level is a self-contained logic puzzle. Study the grid, analyze signal paths, choose the right modules, adjust their rotation, and launch your signal to see if it arrives in the correct state. Minimal abstract sci-fi aesthetic. No ads. No in-app purchases. Full game included.
