Not every puzzle needs numbers. In Puffydoku, every board is a tiny meadow waiting to be brought to life. Hidden among colorful patches of land are fluffy little bunnies searching for the perfect place to rest. Your goal is to help each bunny find its cozy corner by following the clues woven into the puzzle. Gentle, charming, and surprisingly clever, Puffydoku transforms logical thinking into a relaxing daily ritual. FIND THE PERFECT SPOT FOR EVERY BUNNY Each puzzle begins with a colorful board divided into different regions. To solve it, you'll need to carefully observe the layout and uncover the hidden pattern: • Every region needs exactly one bunny. • Every row can hold only one bunny. • Every column can hold only one bunny. • Bunnies like their own space and can never touch one another, even diagonally. With each placement, new clues appear. The more you discover, the closer you get to completing the meadow. There is no luck involved - only observation, deduction, and the satisfaction of finding the answer yourself. A PEACEFUL WAY TO EXERCISE YOUR MIND Puffydoku is designed for players who enjoy thoughtful challenges without pressure. There are no timers counting down, no frantic decisions, and no complicated systems to learn. Just you, a beautiful board, and a puzzle waiting to unfold. As the journey continues, you'll unlock larger grids and more intricate layouts that encourage deeper thinking and smarter deduction. WHAT YOU'LL LOVE • Hundreds of handcrafted bunny puzzles • Beautiful colorful boards inspired by cozy storybook worlds • Gradually increasing challenge levels • Helpful hints whenever you need guidance • Smooth, intuitive controls • Relaxing visuals and satisfying interactions • Offline play wherever you go SMALL PUZZLES, BIG SATISFACTION Whether you're starting your morning, taking a short break, or winding down at night, Puffydoku offers the perfect balance of calm and challenge.
