Nodal Puzzles — five handcrafted logic puzzles in one calm, offline app. No account, no pushy streak shaming, just grids worth solving. CORGI CROWNS Place one crown in every row, column, and color region — no two touching, not even diagonally. The moment the last region clicks is pure “aha”. ANT TRAILS Draw one continuous path that visits every cell exactly once, hitting numbered checkpoints in order. Walls block the way, so the obvious route is never the right one. CONSTELLATION Chart two stars in every row, column, and region of a quiet night sky. No two stars may touch — including corners. Planets and orbits make the sky feel alive. KAMI'S SHADES The grid is secretly tiled with rectangles. Each clue reveals a little about its own patch — its size, its shape, or both. Rebuild every rectangle until the whole board is covered. ISLAND HOPPERS Help Pip the Puffin connect every island with bridges. Islands show how many bridges they need, bridges never cross, and double bridges are allowed. AND MORE ON THE WAY Vine Loops (one closed loop) and Kami's Canvas (paint-by-clues) are in the workshop. WHY NODAL • Five games, one app — switch anytime • Four difficulty tiers per game, from 60-second warm-up to true expert • Huge built-in puzzle bank — 100% offline, plane-ready, no connection ever needed • Hints that teach, not spoil — plus an optional short video for extra hints • Daily streak + achievements that track real progress • Five hand-built themes (Calm Paper, Soft Paper, Neutral, Deep Focus, Labor Day) each with light & dark modes • Undo, reset, skip — always free, always available • Accessibility: Distinct Regions textures, Bold Walls/Orbits, Dynamic Type • No account required. Ever. Built independently for people who love logic puzzles and want an app that respects their time.
