CrossCells

CrossCells is another brilliant entry in Matthew Brown’s catalog of logic puzzles, but it brings a refreshing twist to the formula established by its predecessors. While it retains the signature minimalist aesthetic and soothing ambient soundscapes we’ve come to love, it introduces a significant shift in philosophy: freedom to fail. A More Forgiving Logic Unlike previous titles that might "punish" an incorrect click immediately, CrossCells adopts a non-intrusive approach. It allows you to follow a line of reasoning to its conclusion—even if that conclusion is wrong. CrossCells is a must-play for anyone who enjoys Hexcells or SquareCells. It’s a peaceful yet rigorous workout for the brain. A Note to the Developer: > Matthew, if you’re reading this: please consider adding an Endless Mode! The community is hungry for more. A "1,000 Puzzles Solved" achievement would be the ultimate badge of honor for those of us who simply cannot put this game down.

Not as good as Hexcells/Squarecells but still somewhat enjoyable. Feels like a step back with no dark mode, extremely slow animations, no level reset and a terrible ripple effect (at least you can turn that one off) though. I really needed a notepad to keep track of some puzzles, but sometimes the fastest way was to just try a solution and see if it worked before trying another.
