Decoder Terminal
Read full descriptionHide full description
A secret cipher of four colored keys is hidden inside the system. You have seven attempts to crack it. DECODER is a code-breaking puzzle — a modern take on the classic Mastermind — wrapped in the aesthetic of a green-on-black decryption terminal. Lock in a guess, hit RUN, and the system reports back: • HIT — right color, right slot • NEAR — right color, wrong slot The hints never tell you WHICH slot is right. Read them, reason it out, and narrow the cipher down before your attempts run out. Crack it in four hits to breach the system. Burn all seven and the cipher stays sealed. NO LUCK. JUST LOGIC. Every cipher is solvable by pure deduction. There are no power-ups, no timers, no ads, no accounts — just you against the code. TWO CLEARANCE LEVELS • EASY · 6 colors — learn the ropes • ADVANCED · 8 colors — for hardened operators Colors can repeat, so don't assume the obvious. BUILT FOR THE CRAFT • A tactile CRT terminal interface — scanlines, glow, and a blinking cursor • Colorblind-friendly: every key carries a letter, never color alone • Honors Reduce Motion • Tracks your stats per clearance level: solve rate, current streak, and best run • Fully offline. No sign-up, no tracking, no nonsense. Read the hints. Breach the system.

Slip into the terminal and break into a chain of secure systems, one puzzle at a time. Decodia is a hacking-themed logic puzzle game. The hacking is all story; the gameplay is pure puzzle solving, so you never need to know anything about computers or code. Every mission is a short break-in with several gates to crack: • Code locks: read the colors of earlier wrong tries and deduce the code. • Token forging: overlay circuit fragments until they match the target exactly. • Network rerouting: rotate pipe tiles until the signal reaches every node. • Word locks: guess the hidden word; the colors show how close you are. • Word hunts: find the words of an intercepted message hidden in a letter grid. • Infiltration: step past turning cameras and reach the exit unseen. • Code probes: read the scored guesses and name the hidden symbol code. • Firewalls: slide blocks out of the way to free a trapped packet. • Signal maps: rebuild hidden pictures from row and column clues. • Uplinks: wire numbered servers together with straight cables that never cross. • Laser locks: flip mirrors until the beam lights every receiver. • Frequency jamming: give linked transmitters different channels. • Data push: shove data blocks into the shredder slots, one step at a time. • Circuit tracing: solder one unbroken trace through every pad on the board. • Data sorting: move packets between stacks until every symbol has a stack of its own. • Checksums: fill digit grids until every row and column adds up to its total. • Alibis: match suspects to their login times from a handful of clues. Side jobs branch off the map with puzzles of their own: binary grids, logic-gate locks, packets sliding on ice and trap scans. Every wrong answer raises your trace; fill the meter and the system rotates its keys. Stuck? Up to three hints per puzzle; the first is always free. Finish missions to unlock the next ones, earn BREACHED, CLEAN and GHOST ranks, and collect 30 achievement badges. Can you clear a mission with no hints, no trace and under the target time? • 60 handcrafted missions in 12 chapters, plus 4 side jobs • 21 kinds of puzzles, all solved by logic, never by guessing • Free to play: energy for new missions refills over time, and Chapter 1 and replays are always free • No account; one optional purchase removes all ads and gives unlimited energy • Plays offline; your progress stays on your device • One-handed portrait play with sound and haptic feedback • Play in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish or Turkish
