About:

A js13k 2023 competition entry (ranked 2nd overall, 3rd for Innovation and Graphics) inspired by King Alfonso X's historical Libro de los juegos. Reviewed on leetdom — dialog and menu touch interactions confirmed working cleanly; the developer's own public replies to competition comments acknowledge real orientation-related rough edges on some mobile devices, which this review reports honestly alongside the praise.

No licence stated. Grav published this game without saying how it may be reused, so it is hosted here on the strength of credit alone: their name, a link to their own release, and nothing altered but what it took to run. If you are the author and would rather it were not here, get in touch and it comes down the same day.

Black Hole Square Eighteen tiny grid puzzles built for a 13-kilobyte competition: tap a piece to delete it or push it, swipe to move between levels.

Catculus Drag across adjacent tiles that add up to the target. Black cats keep sitting on the numbers you needed.

Do Not Make 13 Draw one line across the screen so that nothing on either side adds up to 13. Easy, until the plus signs join in.
