Show HN: Take a break, play some puzzles (gridmino.com)

Free daily logic puzzles without Ads. Check it out: gridmino.com

My site offers puzzles where some of them are a new take on already established classics like Minesweeper, Kakuro, or Masyu. For example, my Minesweeper is called Dicesweep, where you need to place dice beside numbers while also matching the row and column rules.

Another interesting one is Kakumino. It's like Kakuro, but you place dominoes instead of numbers.

There are a bunch of them, so there's something for everyone's taste.

I like this minimalistic design, and I actually had a nice break, thanks :) It'd be cool to have my personal stats and leaderboard there

Thank you for playing it! Yeah, some stats would be nice to have, perhaps in future updates. I just didn't want to add time tracking for solving puzzles because I wanted to keep things pressure-free, if you get what I mean.

Yeah, I understand that completely, the goal is to relax so time pressure would kill it :) But as a separate mode in the future for "hardcore" games might work. Great job anyway!

Thanks for sharing. I tried a few puzzles and had fun with it. It’s quite a simple design, but it works. I could miss a bit more lively graphics, but that’s a preference.

Thank you for trying it out! I'm glad you had some fun. As for more lively graphics, the initial idea was to retain simplicity and reduce the number of distractions, keeping the puzzle as the main focus and the design secondary.
