Today's puzzle
Today's Darkwaar is Height and Cut, a tiny tactics puzzle built around height and a straight cut.
You take one action each turn: Step onto a neighbour, Lift a slab to raise or flatten it, or Cut along a row or column. Raised cells stop the cut. The foe telegraphs first.
A tiny browser puzzle for a few minutes of play.
How to play
- Tap Step, Lift, or Cut, then tap a cell
- Step moves to an adjacent flat cell
- Lift raises or flattens a neighbouring empty cell
- Cut travels in a straight line and stops on a raised slab
- The foe shows its next action before you move
- Reduce the foe to 0 HP
