Description

Puffzle is a grid logic game set in a sunny lagoon. Every colored zone wants its own pufferfish, but pufferfish raise their spikes as soon as another one comes close: there must be exactly one per row, one per column and one per zone, and no two of them may touch, not even diagonally.

Tap a square to cross it out, tap twice quickly or hold to place a fish, and slide a finger to cross out several squares at once. A fish in the right spot crosses out its row, column, zone and neighbors for you; a fish in the wrong spot costs one of three hearts. Every grid has exactly one solution, and reasoning always finds it: no guessing needed.

Features

  • Small 4×4 grids to learn the rule, then grids up to 8×8, with Hard and Very hard levels announced in advance.
  • Endless generated levels, each one proven to have a single solution reachable by pure logic.
  • A hint that explains the next deduction instead of just revealing a square; unlimited undo.
  • Every zone has its own color and pattern, so the grid stays readable even without the colors.
  • Golden zones that pay coins, a lagoon that fills with a resident for every level won, a daily challenge with a timer, the same for every player, and a daily coin gift.
  • Coins earned while playing unlock lagoon frames; they never change the gameplay.
  • Adjustable sound, vibration, visual effects and automatic crosses; designed for one-handed play in portrait.
