A puzzle strategy game in which the player utilizes the effects of hidden anomalies on their probes to determine the location of all anomalies, enabling safe space travel.

***Pressing P will toggle the visibility of the anomalies and might help with understanding the mechanics***.

This game is based on Black Box, for a better explanation of the rules check out the Wikipedia page:

Visual explanation of game mechanics:


Keys:


Enter to submit your guess

R to reset inputs

H toggles instructions


If you get stuck and just want to see the solution press P,


Known Issues:

  • Sometimes when continuing the board is not properly reset, pressing R to reset the inputs should fix most issues.
  • Sometimes submissions after the first stop registering requiring a reload or restart
  • When continuing the board may disappear requiring a reload or restart

Update 3/11/25 - Now that the jam is over I have uploaded a version which should fix most of the show stopping bugs.

good concept and visuals, but there is low feedback to the player. But you have done very good with the limited time. I appreciate you
