Archipelago

A cross between Sudoku and Bridges, this is an original puzzle game brought to you on scales from the microscopic to the macroscopic, built in four days for the 2024 GMTK Game Jam. (A small update has since been released adding some more levels and fixing a couple of issues. Find the original version as a downloadable below.)

I've written up my thoughts on how the jam went in a devlog.

The number 1 to 4 must occur in every row and column, and that number is also the number of bridges from that island. Remember: you can deduce where the bridges go from the numbers, but you can also deduce where the numbers go from the bridges!

The visuals rely heavily on shaders, which can load quite slowly in the web version of the game. There are also some known issues running the web version on Linux. Use the downloadable version for a more reliable experience.
