Runes

About

Runes is a puzzle game where players rearrange marbles to recreate target patterns. Each level shows a goal in the corner, and you have to shift marbles into place using as few moves as possible. The game tracks your efficiency, awarding more stars for fewer steps. It's straightforward in concept but grows more complex as puzzles demand precise planning and foresight. What stands out is the focus on clean design and mental challenge. With no time limits or distractions, the emphasis is purely on solving each layout with minimal moves. Developed by Ede Tarsoly and published by Merge Games, it's a lean experience that's easy to pick up but tough to master. The lack of bells and whistles makes it feel like a pure puzzle exercise.
