24 alternatives to Kickoff League
Hey HN, this is our weird little soccer + chess daily puzzle game. The puzzle generation (and the rest of the backend) is written in C#/Razor, and the frontend is a mix of Pixi.js and regular web stuff. The game has kind of a strange structure, where each puzzle represents a match that took place in an imaginary soccer league... so you're not determining the outcome of the soccer match, but you are recreating what happened. Note: If you solve each goal perfectly (using the minimum number of kicks), then it unlocks a harder bonus goal. You can also go back and play past puzzles from…

Hey, maker here. After launching a daily word search game, I randomly thought of this math game while driving. Finally got around to making it and I think it turned out pretty cool. It’s a math search game that’s meant to help you practice your quick addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division skills. I’m hoping it’ll help people (even those like me who aren’t big on math) learn and increase their speeds. (There are also some settings you can enable to make the game harder) If you try it out, please let me know if you found it fun, if you have anything you’d like me to add, or if you…

Hi HN, Matle is a daily chess puzzle inspired by Wordle. You're shown a checkmate position with 5 hidden squares, and your goal is to guess what’s on them to complete the mate. Someone kindly shared it here a few months ago before I had the chance to post it myself. I’m the creator, and wanted to share a few new features based on feedback, and hear your thoughts. You can now view the original game behind each puzzle, get explanations for why a guess isn’t checkmate, and see daily solving stats. Would love to hear what you think: https://matle.io

This is a game I wrote over the last month and a bit. The effort allocation was pretty different from what I've done in the past. The game design snapped together very quickly: I had the initial idea, played a couple of games on a spreadsheet to get a feel for the idea, and made one change based on those plays. After that everything felt just right through multiple rounds of playtesting. Likewise the puzzle generation is nowhere near as elaborate as in my previous game, fairly simple methods worked well and provided good variety. Instead I ended up spending silly amounts of time on curating…

I’ve been working on a puzzle game for a few years as a side project. The game is based on a small region of tiles in a grid that is mirrored, modified, and mirrored again. It’s based on a novel phenomenon I noticed where, once these mutations happen a few times, the original region can be hard to recognize. You have a feeling there are symmetries in the image, but they are just out of grasp. Going further, if only part of the region is visible, such as mirroring off the edge of the board, it adds to the feeling and it becomes a satisfying puzzle to solve. I originally published this on the…

Hey everyone - my friends and I have been working on a mini 3-a-side fantasy draft game for the world up. You can find it here: https://nutmeg.app/ We've been working hard to get this out in time and really encourage feedback on how to make it better. On our horizon is thinking through how to expand this for other competitions (e.g. Champions League) and perhaps a full season long game as well. Thanks!
