How did we came up with these interesting puzzles?
A lot of players ask us about the unique and challenging puzzles in Cryptica, we received a lot of emails to our support from players who love the game and they all have one thing in common - they can't stop playing the puzzles and they ask us two questions:
The truth is that there is no magic behind the making of these puzzles, we tried building a "robot" that creates puzzles like other puzzle games, but we knew that the puzzles the robot creates are not good enough and it makes the game less interesting.
We wanted Cryptica to be one of the top puzzle games for Android so we chose to really invest in the creation process of these puzzles, we created each and every puzzle ourselves and tested it on beta testers to see which puzzles are interesting enough to be included in the game, then we grouped the puzzles according to the difficulties (easy, medium, hard and extreme) based on the beta players feedback.
The secret behind the magical minimum number of steps for every puzzle is actually a sophisticated "robot solver" who takes a Cryptica puzzle and outputs the solution that has the smallest number of steps.
I can honestly say that the puzzle creation and testing took 30-40 percent of the creation time and I believe that this is the main reason that Cryptica is much more interesting than other puzzle games.
