Our take on Markov Alg
The 64-level count gives a clear measure of the campaign, but the store presentation does not convey how much of the challenge comes from editing instructions rather than simply moving through a puzzle field.
What is Markov Alg?
Markov Alg is a retro-style puzzle game built around code-like fields and written instructions.
Each level begins with the player represented by an “X” symbol, while the goal is to reach a “+” symbol. Solving puzzles involves transforming strings of symbols and changing the field according to its rules. Later stages increase the difficulty and can require modifying the instructions themselves. Symbols can be copied or removed, including the player symbol, and the rules can be rewritten to alter how the puzzle behaves. The game includes 64 levels.
