About

Network Puzzle

Read full description

Connect every computer to the server by rotating cables and network equipment. Network Puzzle is a tile-rotation logic game about building working networks. Follow colored connections, bring every computer and laptop online, and find the solution before time runs out. Boards are densely connected and built around exactly one logical solution. Every placed cable and piece of network equipment is required to bring the full network online—there are no decorative dead ends or interchangeable solutions. Arcade mode keeps the flow fast: cables can branch through T-shaped tiles, and later levels add multiple network colors and insulated crossovers. Real mode follows stricter network rules: cables never branch on their own. Switches, routers, firewalls, subnets, and VLANs control how devices communicate. Reproducible procedurally generated puzzles provide a new layout at every level. Earn campaign points in separate weekly Arcade and Real leagues, follow your live position, and compete for promotion. Arcade and Real mode each have their own Daily Challenge. The current-month calendar keeps every elapsed day playable until the month ends, so you can play daily or catch up later. Future days remain locked, and every player receives the same stable date-based puzzle for their mode. Network Puzzle contains banner and occasional automatic full-screen ads. Optional rewarded ads can add time, restore lives, or unlock another Daily attempt. A one-time optional purchase permanently removes banners and automatic full-screen ads; optional rewarded ads remain available, and purchases can be restored.

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: • Keypad locks: read the leaked clues and deduce the one code that fits them all. • Token forging: overlay circuit fragments until they match the target exactly. • Network rerouting: rotate pipe tiles until the signal reaches every node. • Cipher decoding: turn the dial and decrypt intercepted messages. • 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. Side jobs branch off the map with puzzles of their own: binary grids, logic-gate locks, packets sliding on ice and trap scans. Collect evidence as you go, so you never have to memorize a clue. 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 28 achievement badges. Can you clear a mission with no hints, no trace and under the target time? • 50 handcrafted missions in 10 chapters, plus 4 side jobs • 16 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
