Non-Facebook version of my Numbrosia puzzle. No registration required. Very addictive.

I like the idea, although I must admit that like Sudoku, it does not really motivate me. Ultimately, it just seems to be solvable by running a standard search algorithm. Why that is not easy to do for human brains, somehow I don't see why I should try.

On the other hand I like Minesweeper, so maybe the algorithmic solvability is not the main criterion. Not sure :-/

I agree with you to some extent -- for me, chess is pretty pointless.

But all this doesn't matter. As long as I get traffic, that's what counts.

Just curious, what are your main traffic sources? I still haven't found a good way to get traffic for my erotic puzzle game...

As I said, I really like your idea, it wasn't meant as criticism. It could easily become a very popular game, like Sudoku or Minesweeper.

I'm still looking for a good traffic source. For games, try submitting to gaming.reddit.com.

BTW, if you play for a while without registration, you can register without losing your progress provided that you still have the cookie that you played under.

looks cool but i solved level 1 and it's not getting any harder... or giving me a new level...
