rocks and ravens is a short puzzle game inspired by haiku and Japanese logic puzzles like Sudoku.

It takes 5 to 10 minutes to complete. 


More about the game:

  • The 5-7-5 structure of traditional haiku was used to compose the music and order the puzzles.
  • The puzzles are separated into two contrasting parts (a component of modern haiku) with slightly different rules.
  • I started the game during Global Game Jam 2018, which offered the theme "transmission". This quote from Robin Hunicke's keynote reminded me of haiku and got me started: "Try looking the way a child looks, as if always for the first time, and you will, I promise, feel wider awake."

Nice pics.

Very cool visual style. I've added the game to the homepage on the fresh games section.

Such a zen of sudoku puzzle (visually).
