No one can hear you think: Sci-fi puzzler, Nexionode, out for mobile

Seriously? I'm getting stuck on 4 and 5 node puzzles.

Seriously? I’m getting stuck on 4 and 5 node puzzles.

As a puzzler, Nexionode has more going for it than a name which I’ll misspell at least 4 times in the next hundred words, it also has a plot. You can’t say that about most puzzle games, which are simply high-score or 3-star affairs. Nexionode tells the story of a starship facing destruction with the puzzles being the knitting that holds the story together.

Puzzles consist of nodes, each with a certain number of markings on them. You need to connect all the nodes together, ensuring that each node has as many connections as indicated by the markings. The trick is that you have to do them in a continuous path which bumps up the difficulty. It’s complex enough to become very difficult, but simple enough to have that “one more try” feel. As you complete puzzles, you select different sections of the ship to repair you’re rewarded with story segments allowing you to piece together what’s happening upon the Nexio Colony Spaceship.

On top of being a solid puzzler, there’s also no IAP or ads to deal with. Nexionode is avaialble for iOS Universal, Android, as well as PC and Mac.

Trailer after the break.
