Singfisher Games (Daily Akari)

Our first game is now available to play at dailyakari.com ! 🎉🥳🕺 We will be featuring a new Akari puzzle here every day! Hope you enjoy it! 😊 #gamedev #indiedev #sudoku #puzzlegame #godot #wordle

Small update - a player emailed that they couldn't use browser keyboard shortcuts while playing Daily Akari (like switching tabs). A while back some other players mentioned similar issues and at the time I wasn't sure how to properly solve it and completely forgot - sorry! You can now keyboard.

Wow, this week Daily Akari received an all-time high of 73 (🤯) puzzle submissions. Which just pushed us over 2000 total submissions! To put that into perspective, if we stopped now, we'd probably have enough submissions for about 4 years of daily puzzles. Thank you everyone for the support!

Just another update - I was focusing on ways to monetize Daily Akari, but I realized I just need to start making something new. So I'm starting to make a new game instead! I might come back to the other Daily Akari ideas in the future.

Our Ko-fi page just reached 100 coffees! 😲💯❤️ Thank you everyone for so much support - especially to monthly supporters like @hugobdesigner.bsky.social @guidopetri.com and @700kpc.bsky.social

I'm planning on putting the puzzle packs on hold for now to focus on releasing different Daily Akari colour themes that you might be able to buy via the Ko-fi page. I'm excited to see how it feels to play with different colour combinations.

Finished optimizing the walls and the light rays. Basically only have the main grid spaces left to finish optimizing. It'll be interesting to measure and compare the difference in FPS from before and after all the changes.

Long time no see😎 Save Niigata🫵

Finished optimizing the Xes, number sprites, cell outlines, and the grid outline so far. Next up are the cells and walls themselves. Once it's all done it should hopefully reduce the number of draw calls per frame from over 1000 in some cases to just 6-7.

How would Daily Akari players feel about removing the "Pro Mode" setting - so accuracy is always scored, and also including an undo option?

Today's #DailyAkari was probably my favorite one yet! Devilishly tricky but so satisfying! Daily Akari 😊 531 ✅2026-06-20 (Sat)✅ 🌟 Perfect! 🕓 12:12 dailyakari.com

Lately I've been considering putting ads on the Daily Akari home screen. I'm wondering how people would feel about it. I don't really want to do it, but it might just help me make ends meet a bit more.

Currently each cell and X and outline in Daily Akari has its own draw call. I'm trying to make some big changes so that the entire grid is treated as one draw call. I think this should drastically improve performance. Finished with the Xes so far.

I'm working towards being able to release "puzzle packs" separate from the daily puzzles. The way I want to do it means that the first step is optimizing Daily Akari's performance, so I'm doing that!

I conquered Daily Akari No,434 in O.N.G.E.K.I.🤩🤩 (Fun fact: Daily Akari No.434 is actually based on the song "THE CELESTIA 180" from ONGEKI! The board itself is designed to look like a part of the jacket art) here is official MV→https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUc51ufck9g

When I started making Akari I just set out to make a fun game. I noticed that an important part of the fun is the feeling of learning. I've been seeing companies say they're trying to make learning fun with their product, and maybe I'm crazy, but isn't it already fun by default?

🌟🚨BIG NEWS!🚨🌟 The Daily Akari merch store just dropped! If you'd like to support Daily Akari, or just want some merch, please take a look! Thank you for playing! 😊 daily-akari-shop.fourthwall.com

Since @700kpc.bsky.social and @mrsdot.bsky.social have been helping me schedule puzzles, @700kpc.bsky.social actually chose one of the puzzles I made a while back for today's (Wednesday's) puzzle. I'm honored to be featured on the site 🙏 dailyakari.com

Wanted to give a shoutout to @minthoodiecocoa.hair for their YouTube channel where they've been consistently uploading high quality Daily Akari solves / reactions. Just discovered it a couple days ago and it's fun to go back through some of these puzzles!

my self-introduction of Daily Akari No.500 is:

Message about Daily Akari No.500 (which I collaborated on) It's gotten a bit long, but I really hope you'll read it. ↓

Today is the memorable 500th puzzle of Daily Akari. Today’s puzzle is credited to “Akari部からの挑戦状”(“Akari Addicts”), made through the massive collaboration of Akari Addicts.……Including me!

Today's dailyakari.com puzzle was created by... *checks notes*... meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. It's approachable and a good intro to this very satisfying site made by @singfisher.com & @juliahenderson.bsky.social .

I've been trying to set up Daily Akari merch for a while. I wanted to have at least one item that didn't have to ship from the US for all the international players. Unfortunately 2/3 of the samples I ordered for the international item were misprinted so I'm not sure if I feel comfortable selling it.
