Sage Sharp<p>My favorite mind-clearing puzzle is called "Undead". Cute, open source, and no ads on mobile.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>Monster rules:<br> - Vampires: You can see vampires standing in front of you, but you can't see their reflection in a mirror.<br> - Ghosts: You can't see ghosts in front of you, but you can see them reflected in a mirror.<br> - Zombies: You can see zombies in front of you, and in a mirror reflection.</p><p>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.</p><p>Website: <a href="https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtath</span><span class="invisible">am/puzzles/</span></a></p><p>Android Play store: <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=name.boyle.chris.sgtpuzzles" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">play.google.com/store/apps/det</span><span class="invisible">ails?id=name.boyle.chris.sgtpuzzles</span></a></p><p>F-droid: <a href="https://f-droid.org/packages/name.boyle.chris.sgtpuzzles/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">f-droid.org/packages/name.boyl</span><span class="invisible">e.chris.sgtpuzzles/</span></a></p><p>They're looking for a macOS port maintainer, if anyone wants to help.</p><p><a href="https://toot.cat/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a><br><a href="https://toot.cat/tags/FossGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FossGaming</span></a></p>
