Count Logica

A faithful if flawed adaption of David Millar's classic Haunted Mirror Maze puzzle game. On the plus side, it is a faithful adaption of this nonogram/picross sort of puzzle, with the same vampires, ghosts and zombies as in the original Adobe-Flash game. Still the game could have used a bit more polishing and play-testing: many levels are uneven in difficulty (super-easy levels are sprinkled in with very hard ones) and the music is insipid. It is a faithful rip-off of the original game, but I feel that there was a missed opportunity to explore new features. Millar is often creating variations with one-way mirrors and what-have-you, but he had nothing to do with this... an extremely bare-bones adaption, lacking both originality and innovation. For those unfamiliar with Millar's game: you have a board with numbers on each side of a row. Inside that row there may be / and \ slashes, symbolizing mirrors. A zombie is worth 1 point in front of or behind a mirror, a vampire is worth 1...

A fun, casual twist on Nonograms. The puzzles are small (one might even say bite-sized :P) so they're great for breaks and other small chunks of time and the gameplay is completely logic-driven (no guessing!). Not only runs great on Linux (Mint 18.2, Nvidia proprietary) but developed on it, too! ¡Viva los Pingüinos!

Amazing little puzzle game, by the creators of 'Flagsplosion' and 'Mindsight' ! it's like a super version of a picross game, where numbers indicate how many monsters there are. Except it's not always on a straight line ; the path includes change of directions when a mirror is met. Pros • 3 * 100 = 300 levels ! • Challenging : from any point of view (before or after a mirror), always 2 types of monsters share the same visibility. You rarely can't be sure of the correct combination without further analyze. • Learning : make false assumptions while being confident they are true, and learn from your mistakes • Rational : solve every level by using logic only • 5 levels always unlocked, per pack (4x4, 5x5, 6x6) - if you're stuck, just do the next one and comeback later to that #@$! one later ;) I'm a general fan of puzzle games ; I like this one for its game mechanisms without being annoying. Just have a try, guys !

crafting little good (very good!) games is something this dev already did with Mindsight https://store.steampowered.com/app/716070/Mindsight/ a cleverissimo little one that then led me try the Flagsplosion one https://store.steampowered.com/app/652340/Flagsplosion/ ...decided, finally, to grab this one. played very little, but definitely confident i'll appreciate it very much

Highly recommended to people who like puzzle games which appear in paper magazines, like Sudoku or Picross. It uses its own ruleset, simpler than Sudoku, about as simple as Picross, and the ruleset is different enough to provide a new experience for puzzle fans. If you are a fan of puzzle games but have become bored with the usual fare of Picross and Sudoku games, this one is a must buy. Imagine a 4 by 4 cells Sudoku or Picross that nevertheless takes 5-10 Minutes to solve. Most puzzles in this game are in that difficulty range, with a bunch of easy levels at the beginning of the 4x4 puzzle section, and a few puzzles even in the 4x4 puzzle section which cannot be solved without test-placing a monster to see if a solution can be reached from there. I have not reached the last 5x5 and 6x6 puzzles yet, but expect a few equally difficult puzzles there. The game would still be worth the money if they raised the price to 3€, so at the current full price of 1.59€ it's a steal.

Reluctantly I'm gonna have to vote against this one. On the surface level this is somewhat of a mix between Hexcells and nonograms. Each number represents how many entities you can see by following the path from that line to the other end; mirrors may change this trajectory and even loop through the same tile sometimes. Zombies are always seen. Vampires are only seen before hitting any mirrors and don't count otherwise. Ghosts are only seen after at least one mirror. And similarly to minesweeper-like games you get to know how many of each entity type is left to place on the board. It's generally fun but the further you go the more level design falls apart (for me at least). There are 100 levels for each of the 4x4, 5x5, and 6x6 categories and it is obvious that they've all been randomly generated and thrown together. Some levels take literally four seconds to solve while others can get me stuck for a full hour. It just feels like the levels were not curated by a human designer after ...

Very good variation of the classic nonogram, with three grid sizes and 300 increasingly difficult levels.

Interesting puzzle game with a good number of puzzles. My only complaint is there seems to be no reasonable progression - the trivially easy puzzles were interspersed amongst incredibly challenging puzzles. Recommended for those who appreciate a good logic puzzle, or 300.

This is a great puzzle game. It's an old game and I've seen a different version called Haunted Mirror Maze. You can probably play it free somewhere, but it's cheap here and this is a really good version. It lets you eliminate choices and maps out paths. It's kind of like a sudoku where you ;have to place items in a grid, but the things you are placing are monsters and there are mirrors in the grid. Each monster has a different effect on mirrors so it's a puzzle to get them all in right. There are three hundred levels and there is great replay value because it's not like you;re going to remember exactly how you solved one the first time where you put the twenty or so monsters. If you like logic puzzle games at all I highly recommend it.

A nice puzzle game with 300 levels, each of which take between 2 and 3 minutes on average. The 4x4 and 5x5 levels are shorter, the 6x6 grids take a bit longer. The puzzles are not too challenging, a few even are too simple and basically solve themselves, but in general most of them are good. They all feel very similar and apart from very few late game levels, this feels more like a casual activity rather than a taxing puzzle. Sadly, I needed bifurcation for exactly 2 of the late game puzzles, which makes me doubt that these puzzles are handcrafted. And why would they be. The 4x4s and 5x5s rarely give enough space to hide any interesting deductions. Overall a nice little game which is definitely worth the small asking price.
