How it feels

A quirky, brain-twisting puzzle game with a retro cyberpunk feel, where you push numbered tiles in tense, strategic matches against a sarcastic AI safe.

What players say

Players describe CIPHER-8 as a deceptively simple tile-sliding math puzzle that starts confusing but becomes addictive. There are two modes: a laid-back puzzle mode and a faster blitz mode. Several reviewers mention entering a flow state as they get better. The game is free and made with the Pico-8 engine, which players praise.
