A tour of Castle Village in Luanti/Minetest (20th March 2019)
I walked away to relieve myself and my meager Athenian outpost was destroyed, bodies strewn across the small plots of farmland. Indiscriminate slaughter. Livestock, soldier, maid. craftsman, fowl, or horse, Death visited them all before I returned.
Bloody Romans.

My favorite mind-clearing puzzle is called "Undead". Cute, open source, and no ads on mobile.
Undead is a bit like Sudoku, but with ghosts, vampires, and zombies. A game takes me 1-3 minutes, which is just long enough to clear my head without getting sucked in.
In Undead, you know how many monsters of each type need to be laid out in a grid. The grid contains slashes that act as mirrors. The numbers next to the edge are how many monsters that you can see if you're standing in that position.
Monster rules:
- Vampires: You can see vampires standing in front of you, but you can't see their reflection in a mirror.
- Ghosts: You can't see ghosts in front of you, but you can see them reflected in a mirror.
- Zombies: You can see zombies in front of you, and in a mirror reflection.
It's available in the open source Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzles bundle. You can find it in F-Droid for Android, the Android Play store, or as a desktop package.
