Daily challenge: placing pieces on a board that fights back
- 1LA
Hi HN, I wanted to share a web game I’ve been building in HTML, JavaScript, MySQL, and PHP called LINEX. It is primarily designed and optimized to be played in the mobile browser. The idea is simple: you have an 8x8 board where you must place pieces (Tetris-style and some custom shapes) to clear horizontal and vertical lines. Yes, someone might think this has already been done, but let me explain. You choose where to place the piece and how to rotate it. The core interaction consists of "drawing" the piece tap-by-tap on the grid, which provides a very satisfying tactile sense of control and…

I made a tetris variant Aims to remove all stress, and focus the game on what I like the best - stacking. No timer, no score, no gravity. Move to the next piece when you are ready, and clear lines when you are ready. Separate mobile + desktop controls

This is a tetris style game where you need to fill 5×8 grid completely with 10 falling blocks. Simple game based on skill and logic. Feedback is much appreciated.

Angularis is a game similar to Tetris, but based on triangles instead of squares. Which is why it also has diagonal movements. I had this idea about a month ago and built the game in my spare time. I think it is a bit more difficult compared to Tetris. You kind of have to get used to "think diagonally". Maybe it can be a nice little challenge for you. I'd be happy to receive some feedback. Thanks!

Hi HN, I made this small game in my spare time. It's quite addictive, I spent a lot of hours playing instead of polishing it. My own highscore is 96,792. Source code is at https://github.com/MikeBellika/tile-game. It's made with react, tailwind, and framer motion. Hope you enjoy!

How to play: 1. You're given a set of letters (such as "ZXCVBNM") 2. Come up with two words that use all the letters (like "convex zombie") 3. The shorter the words, the better!

While on paternal leave, I wanted to create a game my newborn daughter could eventually play and learn something from. I was heavily inspired by the daily puzzle games I consistently play such as Wordle and Strands. Refractor is a game about connecting colored tiles together to reach all the goals. Use "refractor" tiles to combine two colors together but be careful not to trap yourself in! The game is won when all goals are fulfilled. The tech stack is: Laravel + Inertia, React + TypeScript, and DaisyUI + TailwindCSS. Open to any questions or feedback. Hope you might find it interesting!

I continue my experiment of transposing classic games onto an irregular grid. I've previously released variants of minesweeper and checkers. And now I'd like to share my variant of Chess. Chess can be a pretty punishing game, but I thought this was nevertheless a way to make it even more challenging by making it trickier to anticipate your opponent, even though both players still have the same information. From the playtests I've done, that challenge is pretty compelling. It also seems to be more fun at 2 people, where both players keep surprising one another.

Hi HN - I’m a copywriter by trade who loves word games. A while back I wondered: what if you flipped the idea of Scrabble on its head? Instead of building words, start with a long one and carve away letters to find the smaller words hidden inside. I made a quick prototype, then my brother helped turn it into a real game. Play Strikethrough: https://puzzle-brothers.boondoggle.studio/puzzles/strikethro... How it works - You get a seed word (e.g., LONGBOARD). - Delete letters from it to make valid words: LONG, BOARD, LORD, BARD, etc. - Find 10 words to beat the day’s puzzle,…
