(5/31) Cipher Zero (@cipherzerogame.com) was one of the games I reviewed in in an article earlier this year. Great puzzle design and some nice (if minimal) animations. store.steampowered.com/app/1332180/...

CIPHER ZERO is under $10 for the Steam Winter Sale! Happy Holidays from everyone on the team. :)

Last month, @bsushi.bsky.social and I talked about @zapdot.com's Cipher Zero - a puzzle game that explains without using words. It's a great study in elegance and minimalism in game design. Check out the game, and hear our thoughts on it at www.pixelatedplaygrounds.com/bookclub/cip...

Rule discovery requires a bit of trial and error!

This abstract logic puzzle game is a lot of fun and has very pretty art!

New podcast out now! redcircle.com/33888f45-ee1... The main review is #WheelWorld — a game of two halves, in a pretty unusual way — and there's some chat about Haste, Bananza, Cipher Zero, Death Stranding 2, and a bunch of new games that have joined my to-play list.

I LOVE this game so much! You are presented with puzzles that have glyphs, and you have to figure out how the glyphs work and then use that knowledge to figure out more and more complicated puzzles. What you are doing is so simple, in theory, yet complex in such satisfying ways. PLAY IT!

Toggle hexes, chase glyph logic, and let a reactive chill soundtrack bloom as 300+ minimalist puzzles teach rules by revelation; every solved board subtly reshapes the world around you. @cipherzerogame.com → store.steampowered.com/app/1332180/...

Cipher Zero is great because for me anyway I either solve a puzzle in like 10 seconds or spend 20 mins agonising over it theres no in between

A plentiful number of interesting rules, wrapped around an elegantly minimalist aesthetic, makes Cipher Zero an easy recommendation for logic-tinkering, puzzle fans. Review: www.ctrlr.net/p/822bdb5d-e... @cipherzerogame.com @zapdot.com

If you like Scrabble, and you like Balatro... have I got the game for you. Made by @gamemakerstoolkit.com in under a year, Word Play has dominated my evening game time this week. In the roundup: Cipher Zero, Wheel World, Ritual of Raven, and more.

In CIPHER ZERO you have to discover the rules and apply them to puzzle panels as they grow in complexity. This game really reminded me of how you learn and solve the puzzle panels in The Witness. youtu.be/C0qPXJCHBv8 #puzzlegame #logicgame #let'splay @cipherzerogame.com

On this week's Crewcast, a slew of small indies get a shoutout, Danny races downhill in MAVRIX by Matt Jones, Frank recounts time with Anamanaguchi, and the crew discuss the case of censorship and payment processors on Steam and itch.io. youtu.be/x9SJTqFdFj4

Minimalist logic game @cipherzerogame.com from Ben Cole Wu and @zapdot.com is fantastic! Simple on the surface but ultimately quite complex. 9/10 Thank you @thinkygames.com for helping me discover this gem! #indiegames #puzzle #Steam #pcgaming 🎮 My review on @thegeeklygrind.bsky.social --

Cipher Zero (@cipherzerogame.com) is a stunningly clever puzzle game, where you have to figure out the ever-growing number of rules entirely for yourself. It's also utterly beautiful. buried-treasure.org/2025/08/ciph... Support me finding these incredible games: www.patreon.com/c/buriedtrea...
