About Nullis
Nullis is a logic puzzle game developed by Verontsik that dropped March 1 2026. It lives in the indie and puzzle genres and runs on PC and Linux. The core idea is to erase chains of 0s from grid-based levels using precise logic. Each level locks you into a confined space where you must plan moves to eliminate all 0s without trapping yourself. The game leans into cerebral problem solving over action. Think Sudoku meets pathfinding but with a math twist. It’s a solo affair with no multiplayer modes. The design focuses on tight puzzles that scale in complexity. Best for players who enjoy methodical thinking and don’t mind restarting levels after a misstep.
Gameplay
You start each level on a grid filled with 0s and 1s. Your goal is to delete connected 0s by dragging paths across them. The catch is you can’t cross your own path or leave stranded 0s. Early levels teach basics like avoiding dead ends but later stages add time trials or move limits. Controls are straightforward, mouse clicks to draw paths, but execution demands foresight. Sessions often involve erasing a path then realizing three moves later it backfired. The game rewards patience. You’ll spend minutes analyzing angles and connections. Some puzzles hide multiple solutions but the “optimal” one earns higher scores. The difficulty ramps sharply after Chapter 5. If you get stuck you can skip a level but completionists will want to revisit for perfect scores.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate Nullis 4.5/5 with 78% recommending it. Critics on Metacritic average 88%. Most players finish 62% of levels with an average playtime of 8 hours. Community moods skew focused and determined but some threads vent about level 23’s “broken logic.” A Steam review calls it “the thinking person’s arcade” while another gripes “feels like homework.” The achievement system has 127 badges tracking things like “No-Error Chapter Clear” with players averaging 85% unlocked. Speedrunners have cut the world record from 14 to 9 hours since launch. Forums buzz with puzzle strategies but few share spoilery solutions. The game’s Linux support has won praise from 89% of that platform’s users.
PlayPile's Take
Nullis is a masterclass in logic design for puzzle purists. If you’re okay spending hours on a single level and don’t need hand-holding it’s a gem. The $29.99 price tag feels fair for the depth but casual players might find it punishing. The achievement list adds long-term value but don’t expect quick wins. This isn’t a game you’ll breeze through, it’s a test of persistence. For those who love mathy challenges and don’t mind frustration it’s worth every restart. Pass if you prefer casual clicks. The real triumph? Seeing your brain adapt to its razor-sharp puzzles.
