Tech gameplay
Overview
Tech is the difficulty showcase. No special mechanics, just the core self-lighting puzzle pushed to its limits. Variable board sizes keep you from settling into a pattern, and the piece count climbs higher than any previous world. This is where the game tests whether you truly understand how all six piece types interact.
The Mechanic: Peak difficulty (pure puzzles)
Tech has no unique world mechanic. Instead, it cranks up the difficulty of pure self-lighting puzzles. Board sizes vary from 5x5 to 9x9, piece counts go up to five, and target counts reach twelve. These are the hardest standard puzzles in the game. If you can clear Tech, you understand the core game deeply.
