I got a flawless victory in a landslide with 0 hints but the result screen is a bit confusing. There are players that used hints that are to the "right" of where it shows me. Makes me feel like those people did better than me... But actually they did worse since they needed a hint or 4. Fun little game.
How do you curate the puzzle each day? Can you easily automate a bunch of puzzles then hand select them so back to back days aren't too similar? Or is it manual?
Still working on my daily word association game 'Noun Sense'. Had quite some people from the UK complaining that they were scoring lower with the British variations of words like colour or behaviour. Going to rerun the data crunching and combine the most common ones so the scores will be more "fair"
Great idea! I added a github issue for my game platform https://gametje.com. It currently has 8 multiplayer party games. Play on your smart TV, laptop. phone to phone, or directly within Discord.
Fun little game, worked well enough on mobile. Some of the upgrades were cut off and I left auto move on, but I was still able to beat the average fairly easily and was just off the leader board.
Some small tweaks for having everything be viewable and I'd say it is playable on mobile.

Toward the bottom of the article in case you didn't get that far.
I know these guys. Definitely give their games a try! They are actively developing and making it better every week. It's especially fun in person. My favorite game is the dodgeball game.
Really well done! Not sure how I never stumbled on your game as I am doing something quite similar (https://gametje.com/). I'm also hosting on a minimal server stack with "boring" tech. Would love to have a chat if you are open to it. I'll send you an email on your support email.
> Hi everyone, I built FuseCells, a minimalistic logic puzzle game where every level is handcrafted (no procedural generation). It started as a personal challenge to design a clean rule-set and scale it to thousands of puzzles without losing difficulty balance. > > What’s unique: • 2,500 handcrafted levels across multiple grid sizes • Deterministic logic — no guessing required • A rule system inspired by constraint-solving and path-finding concepts • Daily challenges and global progress tracking • Fully built as a solo dev project > > Technical notes for those curious: • Level generation tools I wrote validate solvability using a custom constraint solver • Difficulty is estimated via step-count of the solver • The game is optimized to run smoothly on low-end devices • Designed first for iOS, now fully adapted for iPad as well > > I’d love feedback from puzzle lovers, game designers, and anyone interested in handcrafted logic design. Here’s the App Store link: [inserați linkul] > > Thanks for reading — happy to answer any technical questions!
Sounds like something I would enjoy. Unfortunately I don't have iOS.
I hate to be the guy but your post text here doesn't exactly portray "handcrafted". Seems to be heavily AI with the sentence structure and the "[inserați linkul]" at the end (are you Romanian?). Quite a lot of em dashes and bullet points in the middle of sentences.
