Pivots

Pivots takes the idea of a twisty cube puzzle and squeezes it into one dimension. A row holds the numbers 1 to 6 in a scrambled order, and a frame covers four neighbouring tiles. Moving the frame and pivoting turns those four tiles around; pivoting again undoes the move. Each puzzle shows a row of empty boxes, one for each pivot you are allowed, and your task is to find the sequence that restores 1 2 3 4 5 6 in exactly that many.

Each day's menu is dated and holds four daily pivots, generated from the date so every player faces the same set: Easy needs three pivots, Normal four, Hard five and Expert six. A countdown shows when the next set arrives, at midnight on your own clock. A Words switch on the daily menu replaces the numbers with letters, so the same puzzle becomes a scrambled six-letter word to restore. Hints are switched off in the daily puzzles.

To learn the techniques there is a short tutorial and a Training mode with hints, which can also show you where to move the frame. A Speedrun section adds three quick-pivot buttons for racing the clock, and the game keeps statistics, best times and a share text that shows which daily levels you solved.

The game was designed and built by Martin Kool, who publishes it under PuzzlePass.io. It is drawn in chunky pixel tiles with an optional CRT look, works with a mouse, a keyboard or swipes on a phone, and needs no account.

It suits fans of Rubik-style puzzles who want a short daily brain-teaser, and anyone who likes planning a few moves ahead.
