Star Curve

Developing a single-player logic puzzle game and teaching a mechanic without words.

11 July 20265 min readWilliam Chen

A good puzzle tutorial does not explain the rule and then test it. It arranges the first few decisions so that the player invents the rule.

Star Curve is an experiment in that kind of silent conversation.

These notes collect mechanics, rejected prototypes, and the design of the moment just before understanding.

ARCHIVE NOTE
