It keeps the same simple core rules, but removes the daily limit and expands everything around them. You can play anytime, with multiple modes, skill-based rating, progression, and challenge features like time pressure, collapsing grids, directional cells, and bomb tiles. Same logic. Much bigger playground.

Block Sort, a mobile/PWA puzzle game without ads2024 · matthijsgroen.github.io · ▲20I like small puzzle games to play on my mobile, (because you can put them away easily as well). But I got really annoyed that a lot of them force feed you advertisements. To counter this I made my own puzzle game, as a progressive web app. This means you can install it on your mobile or desktop as an application, and play offline.

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped!
