Operating problem

A compact logic game needs rules that are immediately understandable while still producing enough spatial depth to support repeated play.

What changed

The product turns path blocking on a hex grid into short levels with clear movement, deliberate placement, and visible progression across iOS and Android releases.

System scope

  • Hex-grid movement and blocking
  • Level progression
  • Haptics and localization
  • Mobile release and unlocks

Technical constraints

  • Keep hex-grid movement and adversary decisions deterministic enough for every level to remain solvable.
  • Make characters, blockers, and progression readable on a small screen without losing the playful visual world.
  • Coordinate level state, haptics, localization, and unlocks across both mobile stores.
