CIPHERGRID
A downloadable game for Windows
CIPHERGRID.
CIPHERGRID is a tactical puzzle game that reinvents a timeless classic for the modern strategist. The grid is no longer a simple minefield; it's a complex battlefield of information warfare where every click is a calculated decision. Instead of just counting numbers, you'll analyze a spectrum of threats, from harmless decoys to reality-bending mimics. Your mission is not just to survive, but to analyze, neutralize, and achieve perfect operational clarity.
FEATURES
- A Revolutionary Logic System: The classic number count is now paired with our innovative Threat Spectrum System. The color of each clue indicates a range of danger, transforming every tile into a deep analytical puzzle. A green tile confirms the absence of standard mines, but could it be a dormant Chrono-Mine waiting to strike? You'll need more than just math; you'll need battlefield logic.
- 9+ Unique Ordinances: Face a roster of complex threats that go far beyond standard bombs. Outsmart the signal-jamming EMP Bomb, contain the info-destroying Bio-Hazard, unmask the deceptive Mimic, race against the board-altering Chrono-Mine, and decode interference from the long-range Resonator. Each ordinance has unique rules, a distinct threat value, and a specific neutralization protocol.
- A 50-Mission Tactical Campaign: Embark on "Project Chimera," a handcrafted 50-level journey across 5 distinct. Progress from a raw recruit to a master tactician as new threats and challenges are introduced. Master each level to earn a 3-star rating, but be warned: a 1-star proficiency is required to advance.
- The Field Simulator (Sandbox): Create your own challenge in this endlessly replayable sandbox. Customize everything: map size, threat density (Easy, Normal, Hard), which ordinances appear, and even the number of lives (Classic 3 HP vs. Hardcore 1 HP). Compete on the global leaderboards for the best time and the highest score.
- Player-Friendly Design: You're not alone out there. Consult the in-game Codex at any time to study the threats you're facing.
