Dexterity

About

Dexterity is a tile-flipping puzzle game that challenges you to turn all light-colored squares on a grid into dark ones. Each level uses a 7x8 layout where tapping a tile switches its color while also toggling adjacent tiles. The catch is planning moves carefully because each action affects multiple pieces at once. Single-player mode tasks you with solving puzzles in set steps while multiplayer lets friends compete to finish first. This SNK title from 1990 stands out as an early example of logic puzzles on handhelds. Its simplicity hides tricky strategic depth with later levels introducing new obstacles. Though overlooked by most modern lists the game built a cult following for its tight mechanics and portable challenge. The competitive multiplayer aspect feels surprisingly modern for its era making it a curious relic of early Game Boy experimentation.
