Bluefin has been a game changer for me


Nowhere near as impressive as some of the things here but I’ve been slowly growing out a daily puzzle website https://regularly.co - I built the first few games for my wife, no subscriptions, no pay to play, no sign up needed.

Im launching a new word game next week which I’m super excited about. If you do play it and have any feedback do shoot me message!


Cool site! For paths it might be nice to have to the option to place an X where a light bulb definitely couldn't go. Unless if you left that out on purpose of course :)


You should add candy crush, flappy bird or a actual puzzle game! like jigsaw pieces.

Im not sure if the first two count as puzzles, more games. Lol


Like the game. for no place king X the ux would be faster for me if i could draw a line where no kings can go.


Ah another nice feature would be blank out game until you hit start and cant reset timer. I like to compete with friends and resetting time makes it so you cant compete.


Great idea, I’ll add this soon


Just tried Kingly, really liked it!


I've been slowly building a website full of daily puzzle games (https://regularly.co/). I built the first game for my wife (https://regularly.co/countable) which she plays every day. Floored is my personal favourite, I find it deceptively challenging


Is there any way (e.g. paid subscription) to have access to all of the puzzles (all past history)? E.g. I'd love to be able to play all the past Kingly puzzles.


Sadly not at the moment but it was always the plan to eventually allow playing of the catalogue - I'm still unsure as to whether I'd choose the subscription model.


How much code do you reuse between games? I'm looking for a "framework" to build multiple games writing only the game specific logic


What a wonderful and simple style. The games remind me on the games from linkedin, just without the dark pattern around it :)


Thanks! I enjoyed floored, it reminds me of spelltower by zach gage which I also liked.


Thanks for pointing me to this - I love the UI. It's a real shame its only on mobile


I love Kingly. I've been playing it everyday.


wow! Isn't this related to N-Queens?


I’m working on https://regularly.co/ - A website made for inquisitive minds to get their daily puzzle fix. Still very much a WIP (mainly working on tuning the difficulty of puzzles to make it enjoyable for most). That being said I really do enjoy the unique combination of puzzles when I do them each day. I’m looking for feedback so if you do take a look please do let me know your thoughts!


Incredible. Thank you for sharing this, I love puzzles and like setting aside some time in the morning to do them. This will enhance that habit so much! A whole slew of daily puzzles, I'll let you know how it goes!


I don't understand why I can't place two kings in "adjacent diagonal" position when they're in two different regions. Something like:

..k..

.k...

Rules state they must be in different regions, row and column. No mention of diagonal or adjacency.


Maybe it wasn't there when you played, but rule 6 states kings cannot attack each other; chess kings can move one square in any direction. Without this rule the puzzle isn't solvable by logic, only trial and error.


Ah this rule is mentioned under “Kings cannot attack each other” (in the chess sense, two Kings cannot be diagonal from one another). I’ve updated the rule to make this a little clearer


I agree, I had the same problem.
