Craving something that calms you down while keeping your brain wide awake? Meet Prickle—a pure logic puzzle where classic Star Battle rules get a soft, cozy twist. Every puzzle is a burrow, and every burrow needs its hedgehogs. Your goal is simple: tuck each hedgehog into exactly the right spot. No luck. No guessing. Just deduction. SIMPLE RULES, DEEP DEDUCTION • One per color: Every colored patch of the burrow holds exactly one hedgehog. • One per row and column: No sharing lines—hedgehogs like their space. • Quills need room: Hedgehogs can never touch, not even diagonally. • Paw-marks first: Tap once to place a paw-mark X where a hedgehog cannot go. Double-tap to tuck one in. • Three hearts: A wrong tuck costs a heart. Every burrow can be solved using pure logic, so a careful mind never needs to gamble. WHAT’S WAITING IN THE BURROW • Daily Burrow: Enjoy a fresh, bite-sized puzzle every day and keep your streak cozy. • Quill Quest: Take on a bigger challenge burrow every Monday. • Endless levels: Progress from quick 5×5 warm-ups to sprawling expert grids. In advanced puzzles, the rules expand to two hedgehogs per row, column, and color. Boards are freshly generated, so the trail never ends. • Collect the family: Earn coins and bring home Bramble, Snowdrop, Marigold, Moss, Nightspine, and Goldie—six hedgehogs, each cozier than the last. • Gentle help: Undo moves freely, review the rules anytime, or spend coins on a hint when a burrow gets prickly. • Play offline anywhere: Perfect for a commute, a queue, or a quiet coffee break. No energy bars. No forced grind. Just puzzles. Prickle takes only seconds to learn but keeps unfolding for weeks. The boards get bigger, the deductions get deeper, and that “one more burrow” feeling stays with you long after you put your phone down. Ready to test your logic with the world’s most adorable roommates? Download Prickle and start tucking in hedgehogs today.
