Brain School

Such a great puzzle idea, finding a code is sometimes hard but guessing right is very satisfying. Still I wish for a QOL update soon, for example Adjusting the eraser/pencil volume, fixing the fullscreen bugs and others. Amazing puzzle game anyways

It's a fun deduction game in which you choose which clues/information you want to reveal based on the information you already have. Not only do you have to apply logic to draw conclusions from the clues, but also to figure out which clues will be of most use to you. There is a little bit of inconsistent wording here and there, so you have to pay close attention to what the rules actually mean to avoid drawing false conclusions. Specifically it took me some time to figure out exactly how revealing the "consecutive ranking" works, especially when there are multiple consecutive-rank groups. Once you are confident with the rules, it's really fun to try to deduct the combinations using as little clues as possible! If you don't use the "reveal card" option, then you have to figure out the entire combination at once. That is really pleasing to get right on longer combinations, because it could take quite a bit of work to get there!

Very easy to recommend. Great for math nerds, patient folk, and roguelite grinders. I played the demo for many hours, was happy to see it release so soon. I am focusing on achievements right now, I intend to revisit this review to share more detailed thoughts on the different modes.

Brain hurts :(

Balatro, but the numbers actually mean something. Being able to draw on the screen is nice, but not being able to draw under the cards when there is so much empty space feels limiting. I like listing out the possibilities!

Brain School is a deceptively simple puzzler that turns your brain into a deduction machine. The idea is similar to the classic game Mastermind, where your goal is to uncover a hidden code. Here, that code is made of playing cards. But the magic is all in the journey and how you get there. You don’t flip cards or guess blindly. Instead, you ask creative questions like “Where is the highest‑value card?” or “What’s the sum of three consecutive cards?” Every question will cost you precious clues, so you’re constantly weighing risk and reward with how much information you can squeeze out of each question. As you progress, the codes grow longer, the deductions get trickier, and the tension ramps up in a really satisfying way. Finishing a round feels like cracking a safe with nothing but your wits. With several possible modifiers, no two runs will ever feel the same. The whole experience has the signature Sokopop charm: minimalist, clever, and quietly addictive. They’ve built a clever puzzle here that’s both approachable and yet deep once you’re in the zone. If you like deduction-type puzzles and logic challenges, then Brain School is absolutely worth enrolling in.

这小游戏还挺难的，属于少见题材，肉鸽+推理的小品级游戏。 并且，它不是以尖塔或小丑牌的底层逻辑来构建核心玩法（[i]我之前试过不少这类的所谓推理肉鸽，个人感觉属于生搬硬套，结合的不好[/i]），而是有着一套基本自洽的底层逻辑，这就算是相当不错了。 游戏包含多种模式，体验上会有一些区别。不过整体上，如果追求的是完全推理出答案（且尽可能快，因为时间也影响最终得分orz），那高难度下（[spoiler]B以上难度，初始有负面效果时，游戏才显著变难[/spoiler]）还是相当烧脑的。

balatro for the THINKING MAN

Good brain teaser.

Seems impossible at first, but no it's just hard.... then they add the cursed knick-knacks!
