Instructions

The game revolves around solving puzzles in a format nicknamed "TileZero" by oblong. The goal for each puzzle is to reduce all numbered tiles to zero, and if there is an exit tile, end on the exit tile. Every time you enter a numbered tile, its total decreases by one, unless flipped by an inverter. However, if you leave a tile and it has been reduced to zero, the tile crumbles into a pit and can no longer be entered. Note that this can include a modifier that you exit the tile into setting the initial tile to zero!

Puzzle terminals are scattered across 3 different levels. Once you finish all puzzles in a terminal, move on to the next terminal! After solving all terminals in a level, you can open the door to the next level by going up to it and pressing E.

Note: One of the puzzle terminals in level 2 is inaccessible, meaning you are unable to move on to the final level. However, by going to the menu and enabling cheats, you can open the door to the final level and solve the final puzzle. This will be fixed once GMTK 2026 concludes.
