About this game
Cryptigma is a top-down innovative puzzle game where you can move your own respawn point. Most levels have a respawn point, which can be pushed around to maneuver your way around obstacles. With only a few mechanics, the puzzles get surprisingly complicated. Push, die, respawn, and solve over 100 levels in this great puzzle game!
As you progress, you'll be introduced to new ways to die such as: poisoning, drowning, freezing, or electrocution. Each new way to die will mix things up in their own unique way!
You play as a skeleton, who has been blown far away from its grave due to an intense windstorm, and it is your job to help bring him back.
Along the way, you'll head through many different worlds, each with their own theming. Walk through a forest, hike through a mountain, run through a swamp, and find yourself immersed in puzzle solving.
With 12 worlds, each with 10 levels, so a total of 120 levels, the fun will never end!
Each level is meticulously crafted for a trick or lesson to be learned.
While you might get stumped, there are always many other levels to go to.
So, sit back, relax, and enjoy these perplexing puzzles!
