About

Waldoku

Features
Read full description

Waldoku is a calm logic puzzle game about finding hidden dogs on a square board. Each level hides the same number of dogs as the board size. Use color areas, rows, columns, and adjacency rules to narrow down the correct tiles. The rules are simple: - Each color area has exactly one dog. - Each row has exactly one dog. - Each column has exactly one dog. - Dogs cannot touch each other. Mark tiles that cannot contain a dog with X, then double tap the tile where you think a dog is hidden. When many tiles can be ruled out at once, drag across the board to mark X quickly. The early levels introduce the rules step by step, then larger boards and combined clues add more depth. If you get stuck, hint and dog finder items can help you continue. Waldoku is designed for short puzzle sessions, careful thinking, and the satisfying moment of finding the exact answer.

Sort the bots. Then do it in the right order. NANOBOT MATCH is a zen sort-puzzle with a twist. Tap a register, tap another, and the top run of matching bots flows across. Four of a color together and they upload in a burst of light. No clock, and no way to lose that undo can't fix. THE TWIST: THE PROGRAM Every level ships with a short program. Upload the colors in its order and each line fires something helpful on the board. Miss the order and the board stays winnable — but the perfect run slips away. Honor it start to finish for the star players chase long after they've learned to win: CLEAN COMPILE. MIND THE SPECIALS Wildcards slot into any run. Dark registers wake when their LOAD line commits. Glitched bots corrupt a stack until you purge them. Never more than a couple of twists per board. THOUSANDS OF LEVELS A hand-tuned ramp from a gentle two-color start to fiendish tangles, every single board verified solvable before it ships. Pick up right where you left off. ZEN BY DESIGN No timer, no lives, no streak to protect. Just you, the colors, and the quiet click of a register clearing. DESIGNED FOR ONE-HANDED PLAY Portrait only. Big tap targets. Handcrafted retro-neon art, a chiptune score, configurable SFX and haptics. FULLY OFFLINE No accounts, no servers, no sign-in. Play on a plane. Ads are non-personalized. REMOVE ADS One purchase, ads gone forever. No subscriptions, no shop. Made with care by Archivium Labs.
