How to play
Drag the starter domino to any cell. Press start to run the simulation. The chain topples according to standard domino physics. If the chain reaches the target, the level clears. Retry as many times as needed.
Game features
- Predictable cause-and-effect chain simulation
- Forty levels across two themed sets
- Branching dominoes in second set
- Viewable simulation pace for learning
- Touch and mouse input both supported
- No microtransactions
Editor review
Chain Logic is a chain-reaction puzzle where you place a starter on a grid of dominoes and watch them topple. The premise is digital Dominoes (the falling-line game), and the puzzles ask you to arrange the dominoes before pressing start so that the chain reaches the target.
What works is the cause-and-effect clarity. Each domino falls in a predictable direction based on the previous one. The simulation runs at a viewable pace so you can watch and learn from failures. After a few failed attempts the puzzle logic becomes clear.
Forty levels across two themed sets. The first set teaches single-line chains. The second set introduces branching where one domino splits the chain into two paths. The branching mechanic adds depth but the levels do not always use it well. Several levels in the second set could have been single-line puzzles with cosmetic-only branching.
Tested on phone and laptop. Touch with drag-to-place-domino works fine. Mouse works fine. Neither stood out as better; the format is input-agnostic enough that hardware does not matter.
Where the game falls short is the absence of free-play mode. After completing the forty campaign levels, there is no sandbox to experiment with domino arrangements of your own design. A free-play mode with shareable creations would have lifted this from three stars to three-and-a-half.
Where I would push back is the visual chain-tracking feedback. When a chain fails partway through, it is sometimes difficult to see where it stopped because the dominoes that did not fall blend in with the dominoes that did. A clearer post-chain state indicator (highlighting the fall-or-not status of each domino) would help debugging.
Three stars. Functional chain-reaction puzzle with thin late-game design. Worth a single playthrough but does not invite repeat sessions.
