It's not as tight as HexCells or even SquareCells, but there's still some good puzzles that rely on logic and arithmetic. It doesn't overstay its welcome although as there's no punishment for making mistakes (unlike the other "Cells" games), it's way easier to fall into guesswork. I find the distortion graphic when you presee things a little jarring so this isn't as soothing as a puzzle game as the other features, but it's still worth playing if you buy it in the set.

A simple and satisfying puzzle game. Not much more to it. All the best, Novacus

CrossCells is a numeracy-based logic game in which tiles in rows and columns are selected or deselected to match a sum criteria or tile limit. This is expanded on in later levels through multiplication, having overlapping conditions, and conditions that apply to the same row, e.g. sum to 11 using 3 tiles, or reading left to right sum to 11 and reading right to left sum to 9. This adds complexity and ensures the levels scale in difficulty throughout. Where this game loses marks is that it felt as though something was missing in the logical flow. Often, you reach a point in a puzzle where there are a few viable solutions, and you must use process of elimination to follow through possible pathways to solve the puzzle. Sometimes this was possible to do mentally, but, particularly later on, it would require you to follow a possible solution 10+ steps through before you would be able to rule it out as impossible. In the final levels I found myself reaching a point where no further tiles could be determined with certainty and so I would take a screenshot, try a possible path, and then revert to my screenshot once that path was ruled out. A simple option to colour a tile in dark blue as a tentative option would have made this part of the logic much more enjoyable. I found this a challenging and enjoyable puzzle game, but personally preferred the Hex puzzles from this developer. CrossCells runs flawlessly on Steam Deck.

Not as good as Hexcells/Squarecells but still somewhat enjoyable. Feels like a step back with no dark mode, extremely slow animations, no level reset and a terrible ripple effect (at least you can turn that one off) though. I really needed a notepad to keep track of some puzzles, but sometimes the fastest way was to just try a solution and see if it worked before trying another.

For those who enjoy sudoku, this is a short (2-6 hour) and delightful puzzle series. The asking price is fair, but you might as well get the "Logic Puzzle Pack" as the value is REALLY there, the games really go well with one another, and I've seen the bundle drop below $10 usd. -clean aesthetic -zen animations+music -requires using a variety of strategies -nice difficulty curve
