GRD : Grid Based Puzzler

Sun, 06 Feb 2022 20:29:04 UTC

A minimalist grid-based puzzle game where you score is the number of times you had to restart on your way through the ten progressively more difficult puzzles.

I used the simple puzzle "engine" from my other, kid-friendly, puzzle game "TED" to create a more interesting version for adults. It's still relatively simple in scope, and is fairly short. The last few puzzles should at least get you scratching your head a few times though!

A really simple puzzle game I made for my kids, they're both under 5 and are just getting into games so I decided to make a game starring their stuffed toys.

You play as a Green Teddy trying to find his pal the Red Teddy - navigate the house collecting candy, unlocking baby gates, and more!

The game really only had two design goals:

Be playable by the least dextrous human beings I've ever met (there should be no need for any sort of timing or precision to play because they have neither!)
Not allow for any unwinnable situations - all the puzzles can be solved either by thinking through or just trial and error as you work through it, but there's never any "mistakes".

From that perspective it was a huge success. My target audience loved the game and play it all the time.

For most people it's not really a "game", but if you have kids and want something super simple for them to have a try at then here you go :-)
