Thanks, ming101! Glad the setup made you laugh. It’s a bit of both. For example, if Greta’s self-dusting desk sucks up her drawing, it ends up in the return tray and the test tells you what happened. Talk to Greta again and she’ll comment on how that particular test went, sometimes with a clue about what to check next. That can happen after your very first try.

Hi, I’m Maik. I made LumoFlip, a free logic puzzle for Android. Tap a light and it flips along with its neighbours. The goal is to turn every light off. Finding a solution in fewer moves is where it gets interesting.

The campaign has 360 levels, from square grids to irregular boards and puzzles with two layers to clear. There’s also a daily challenge if you want a new board to try.

Visit the LumoFlip page on itch.io for the free Google Play download. You can play in English or German.

If you try it, I’d like to know whether the jump from one layer to two felt natural. Did the game give you enough time to get the hang of it?

Hi, I’m Maik, the solo developer behind The Everything-O-Matic. The first Windows demo is out and you can play it free in English or German.

It’s 1987, and Paul Knopf’s new job at the Tüftelburg patent office is to test inventions. Then he comes across a machine that claims it can do everything. In the demo, you’ll talk to inventors, poke around their workshops, and figure out how their gadgets work.

If you give it a go, I’d love to know where you got stuck and what you tried first. That’ll help me tell which clues need another pass.
