Series and progress

A winning streak motivates users to return tomorrow.

Instant launch

Playable immediately, no tutorial needed.

Honest complexity

01Challenge

Habit-forming game

The daily puzzle genre is built on habit: one task a day keeps the player coming back for months. An MVP was needed to test the mechanics.

02Design

Minimalism works

Nothing between the player and the puzzle: a clean field, clear rules, a moment of insight.

  • Clean interface
  • Clear rules
  • The "aha!" moment
03Development

MVP overnight

Developed a functional prototype in record time, featuring core mechanics, progress tracking, and a daily cycle.

Result

Proven mechanics

DECODE works as a daily game: the puzzle changes, streaks build up, and players keep coming back.

Project Q&A

FAQ

Why one puzzle a day?+

How quickly can a gaming MVP be built?+

The DECODE core was built in a single night session — speed depends on the mechanics.

Do you develop custom games?+

Yes, from casual web games to gamification mechanics in products.
