Geocells Quadcells

Excellent little pure deduction game. Sure bet for fans of Hexcells or Tametsi. Runs great on Linux.

Barebones but solid puzzle game. Hexcells' ugly cousin. The first half of the puzzles (up to 3-6 or so) feels like a tutorial, but just when I was worrying that the puzzles would never become truly... puzzling, they did become more interesting. And the final few puzzles, plus a few of the bonus puzzles, are real nailbiters. The aesthetics are functional at best. They don't directly detract from the gameplay, but having played Hexcells, I imagine that this game would feel much more enjoyable with a better presentation. Bonus points for the draw-on-screen mode for note-taking. I first encountered it in Tametsi, and I've been in love ever since. Any worthy logic puzzle game where you can't hold all information in your head should feature a way to draw on-screen. PS: If you enjoyed this game, and have already played Hexcells, I highly recommend Tametsi. It's similarly barebones, but has some interesting innovations of its own, and it's *huge*.
