Wire up lasers, drills, wormholes and black holes, then press play and watch the chain reaction unfold. 64 handcrafted logic puzzles, a full level editor, and levels built by other players. No account required. HOW IT WORKS Every level gives you a goal, a handful of gadgets and an empty grid. Place the pieces, press play, and watch what happens. Power flows, gadgets activate, and one interaction triggers the next. Either the whole machine works, or one piece is sitting in the wrong square. Lasers, mirrors, solar panels, flashlights, pushbots, helibots, drones, cannons, drills, crystals, wormholes, black holes — and one yeti who cannot tolerate heat. Every gadget behaves differently, and every gadget explains itself the first time you meet it. NOT A REFLEX GAME Qom Box is not about speed. It is about observation, logic, experimentation and discovery. Study the layout, test an idea, watch it fail, move one gadget, and find the moment when everything finally clicks. Nothing is timed. Nothing is lost. Wrong answers are free. If you prefer brain teasers and logic puzzles to reflex games, this one is built for you. It is a cozy, thoughtful kind of puzzle. Play one level on the train, or sit with a hard one all evening. BUILD YOUR OWN The level creator gives you the same grid and the same gadgets used to build the 64 handcrafted levels. Make a puzzle, test it until it works, then share it and play levels built by other players. WHAT'S INSIDE • 64 handcrafted original levels • A full level editor for building your own puzzles • Community levels to play and solve • Gadgets with unique behaviors and interactions • Hints for the tricky moments • Handcrafted levels playable offline • No account required

About

Eikonal

Features
Read full description

Eikonal is a physics-accurate optical puzzle game. Place and rotate mirrors, prisms, and lenses on a dark canvas, and watch real light rays bend, reflect, and split in real time. There is no submit button — the puzzle recognizes itself as solved the moment your ray field reaches every target. Named after the eikonal equation, the mathematical foundation of geometric optics, the game simulates light the way it actually behaves: angle of incidence equals angle of reflection, white light disperses into red, green, and blue through a prism, and lenses converge and diverge beams along their true paths. 100 PUZZLES ACROSS 5 CHAPTERS • Reflections — Mirrors. Bounce light to the target. • Refraction — Prisms. Split white light into its spectrum. • Convergence — Lenses. Focus and diverge beams. • Channels — Beam splitters and fiber. Guide multiple paths at once. • Caustics — Diffraction and curves. The master class. LIGHT THAT FEELS ALIVE Every move updates the entire ray field instantly. Nudge a mirror a degree and the whole scene of light shifts with it. The simulation runs continuously, so solving is a tactile, exploratory act — not a guess-and-check. DESIGNED FOR iPHONE AND iPAD Smooth, responsive ray tracing. Glowing beams against a near-black field. Built for iOS 17 and later, with full iPad support in every orientation. NO NOISE No ads. No in-app purchases. No accounts. No internet required. Just you, the light, and the puzzle. Solve with light.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Eikonal at none against Qom Box's 5. Qom Box's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
