Edicts
The rules of the level are spelled out in pushable word-blocks — rearrange them to change what you are, what wins and what blocks, then solve two mirrored worlds at once.
How to play
Every board states its laws as word-tiles like ROCK IS YOU or FLAG IS WIN. Walk your avatar around and shove those words into new sentences to rewrite reality — turn a wall into the goal, or make yourself a different object entirely. A twist: there's a main world and a mirror world, and your edicts ripple across both, so you must satisfy the win condition in each.
- Push property words into rule lines to change the level's logic
- Whatever IS YOU is the thing you control; whatever IS WIN is the goal
- Reach the goal in both the main board and the mirror board
- After a rule change, edits briefly lock — plan your shoves
Controls
- Desktop: Arrow keys or WASD to move, U to undo, R to reset.
- Phone & tablet: use the on-screen direction pad and the Undo / Reset buttons — touch supported.
Game modes
- Daily: one shared seeded puzzle per day
- Practice: a library of hand-built levels to work through
Tips & strategy
- Read both worlds before moving — a rule that helps the main board may trap the mirror
- Break a rule by pushing a word out of its sentence, not only by building new ones
- Undo liberally; rule puzzles reward experimenting with sentences you can always take back
