In plain words

Quaxio is a sliding puzzle game that appears simple on the surface but presents genuine challenge to players. Launched in 2022, it offers a deceptively difficult puzzle experience for casual gamers and puzzle enthusiasts looking for something more demanding than typical mobile games.

    Hi, I wanted to share a simple game I wrote. It's a sliding pieces puzzle like many others. I have focused a lot on making the experience smooth and minimalistic and the levels being challenging in a way a sudoku or chess puzzles could be.

    A friend and I spent 6 years making a simulation game, finally released▲1,157

More than 6 years ago, me and my friend from university were playing around with an idea of making a game we always wanted to play. We worked on it on weekends but the progress was quite slow, especially due to so many dead ends and wasted effort. Eventually however, we solidified our direction and decided to take the risk to resign from our well paid SWE jobs and work on it full time.
