Welcome to Tango-Survival, a logic-based puzzle game where balance and strategy are everything. Inspired by LinkedIn's Tango, this game offers an immersive and strategic challenge where players must fill a grid using carefully placed shapes while adhering to specific rules of balance and symmetry. Built using Google Project IDX, Tango-Survival provides a smooth, efficient development experience and intuitive gameplay. 🌀✨
LinkedIn recently introduced Tango, a daily puzzle game aimed at fostering engagement and social interaction among users. In LinkedIn’s Tango, players fill a grid with alternating symbols (like suns and moons) while following rules to ensure balance—no more than two consecutive identical symbols in any row or column, and an equal number of each symbol per line. LinkedIn designed this game to provide users with short, intellectually engaging breaks from work, tapping into logic puzzles for daily mental exercise【34†source】【35†source】【36†source】.
This inspired Tango-Survival, where players apply similar balance-based rules but with the added twist of group movement for specific cells. This strategic mechanic adds a unique layer of difficulty, requiring careful planning and precise moves to maintain balance.
- Objective: Fill each row and column with circles and squares, adhering to rules that enforce symmetry and avoid over-clustering.
- Controls: Click on cells to toggle between circles and squares. Cells within groups move together when toggled.
- Rules:
- Limit Consecutive Shapes: No more than two identical shapes can be adjacent in any row or column.
- Maintain Balance: Each row and column must contain an equal number of circles and squares.
- Group Movement: Cells in groups toggle together, adding a strategic challenge to achieve the perfect configuration.
- Victory Condition: Complete the grid with all rules intact to win. ⚖️
