Chicka Road

A puzzle of light on a grid.

Chicka Road is a puzzle of light on a grid. One emitter fires a single white beam. Mirrors turn it ninety degrees, a prism splits white into its channels, a splitter forks it, a filter 🎚️ subtracts colour. Every target 🎯 demands an exact mix 🥣 - amber, magenta, cyan, or one of the blends. You only ever change one thing: which way a mirror faces. Solve in as few flips as you can.

WHAT IS INSIDE
• 48 campaign boards across six sectors: Vela, Lyra, Ara, Pyxis, Norma, Crux. Grids grow from 5x5 to 9x9 and new ✨ pieces unlock 🔓 as you travel ✈️ outward.
• A daily board, the same one for everyone, with a streak 🔥 that remembers.
• A workshop where you build 🔨 your own boards. The solver judges them while you place pieces: solvable or not, the best possible move count, whether that solution is unique, and how hard the board rates.
• Poster studio: turn a solved board into a poster, recolour its beams from a photo 📸 you take or pick, and save 💾 the result to your gallery 🖼️.
• An optics library 📚 that shows exactly how each piece behaves on a live board you can touch.
• Progress 📈 and archive: stars, par ratios, piece usage, and every board you have solved drawn as a real thumbnail.

AN ENGINE, NOT A LOOKUP TABLE 📋
Every board is generated on your device 📱 from a seed, then proved solvable by an exhaustive solver before you ever see 👀 it. Par - the minimum number 🔢 of mirror flips - is computed, never guessed. Hints come from that same solver: the next flip on a genuinely shortest path, not a vague nudge.

NO CONNECTION NEEDED
The game 🎮 is completely offline 📴. No account, no sign-in, no purchases, no tracking. Nothing about how you play ▶️ leaves your phone 📱. The only screen that loads anything from the internet is the privacy policy.

Chicka Road gives you three stars for a solve at par. Two if you come close. One for finishing at all. Par is always reachable - the solver found it first.

Chicka Road is built for players who enjoy precise logic, optics, and solving every board with the fewest possible moves.
