TraceSift

TraceSift is a logic puzzle game that challenges your deductive reasoning. Each round presents a network of connected nodes, each bearing unique symbols and colors. Hidden rules govern which paths are valid — your task is to discover these rules and trace the correct route from start to finish.

Gameplay
A network of 4 to 14 nodes is generated at the start of each round. Each node has a symbol shape (circle, triangle, star, heart, and more) and a color. Connections between nodes have colors too. The start and end nodes are clearly marked. Two to four hidden rules are active each round, selected from a library of 40 unique rules.

To play, tap connected nodes to build your path from the start to the end node. After each selection, the system checks whether your partial path still satisfies the active rules. Rules cover symbol categories, color patterns, connection sequences, path length constraints, and node position requirements.

Three hints are available per round. Using a hint highlights a node on your current path that violates at least one active rule, helping you identify where your reasoning went wrong.

Game Modes
Fixed Levels: 30 progressively challenging levels that introduce rules one at a time, guiding you from simple 4-node networks with a single rule to complex 12-node networks with three overlapping rules.

Random Mode: Endless procedurally generated puzzles with adaptive difficulty. Network size and rule count vary automatically based on your performance.

Daily Challenge: A single carefully constructed high-difficulty puzzle each day, featuring 14 nodes and four simultaneous rules. Complete daily challenges to earn special recognition.
