rocks and ravens is a short puzzle game inspired by haiku and Japanese logic puzzles like Sudoku.
It takes 5 to 10 minutes to complete.
More about the game:
- The 5-7-5 structure of traditional haiku was used to compose the music and order the puzzles.
- The puzzles are separated into two contrasting parts (a component of modern haiku) with slightly different rules.
- I started the game during Global Game Jam 2018, which offered the theme "transmission". This quote from Robin Hunicke's keynote reminded me of haiku and got me started: "Try looking the way a child looks, as if always for the first time, and you will, I promise, feel wider awake."
