01 · Gameplay

A puzzle of precision, not speed.

Each level drops you into a broken circuit. Tap any tile to rotate it 90°. Energy flows from the source through every correctly matched connection — your job is to reach every target node before your moves run out.

Core mechanic

Every tile turns 90°. Every tap matters.

Source nodes glow orange. Target nodes wait in sage. Between them sit relays you must rotate into alignment so energy can propagate — instantly, cleanly, visibly — along the completed path.

You have a limited move budget per mission. Over-rotate and your score drops. Solve it in the fewest moves and you earn your rank.

Don't take our word for it. Route a circuit right here.

This is a real Signal Void calibration, running live on this page. Tap any relay tile to rotate it 90° — energy flows from the orange source the instant a path closes. Light all three sage targets to restore the sector.

The full game scales this exact mechanic across 330 missions — locked tiles, branching networks, and a move budget that turns every tap into a decision.

Read the grid

A source node emits energy in orange. Target nodes wait in sage. Relay tiles carry the current once you align them.

Rotate with intent

Every tap rotates a tile 90° clockwise. Every move counts against your move budget — plan before you rotate.

Close the circuit

Energy propagates instantly along every completed path. Light every target and the mission is cleared.

Earn your rank

Score = 1000 + (moves remaining × 50). Precision is rewarded. Over-rotate and your rating drops.

02 · Story

You are not here to fly. You are here to restore the network.

Every station, gate and orbital corridor depends on fragile energy systems. A single routing failure can stall an entire mission. You are the engineer who keeps humanity moving — mission after mission, planet after planet.

Branching paths. Multiple targets. The network begins to test your judgement — and your patience.

Gas giants rise. Orbital relays multiply. The routes you close here carry humanity past the inner system.

The grids sprawl. Multi-node networks branch in every direction. Only calm, methodical engineers make it through.

The network thins. Decay accelerates. Only the most precise engineers will carry humanity this far.

v1.1.3 · Just released 02c · What's new

150 new missions across the outer system.

Update 1.1.3 expands the network past Neptune, adds efficiency tracking on every mission, polishes the story beats, and rewards your first-place runs with a celebratory burst.

🪐 Two new regions · 150 missions

Venture beyond Neptune into the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud. 150 hand-crafted missions push your routing skills from expert to endgame.

🎯 Efficiency tracking

See your completion efficiency on every mission and your average per region — color-coded gold, green, or gray so you know exactly where to improve.

🎊 #1 confetti

Reach the top of any leaderboard and enjoy a celebratory confetti burst. You earned it.

📖 Story beats refined

Sector narratives now trigger right when you complete the final mission — not after. Visuals upgraded with better framing and readability.

Plus: launch-freeze fix, Planet Pass widget always shows the correct pass, widgets refreshed for all 10 regions, achievements rebalanced for 330 missions.

04 · FAQ

Questions before you launch.

Is Signal Void free?

Yes. Signal Void is free to download on the App Store. Optional cosmetics and a planet pass support development — the full puzzle journey is playable without spending a cent.

Which devices does Signal Void support?

iPhone and iPad running iOS 17 or later. The interface is designed for both portrait phones and iPad in any orientation.

Do I need an internet connection?

No. Signal Void is fully playable offline. Game Center leaderboards and iCloud sync require a connection, but the core puzzle loop runs entirely on-device.

Are there ads or time-gated energy?

Never. No ads, no energy bars, no forced waits. It's a puzzle game — your only limit per level is the move counter.

What languages is it available in?

English, Spanish, and French at launch, with UI copy, narrative, and App Store metadata fully localised.

Who made Signal Void?

Signal Void is designed and built by independent developer Marcos Novo. It's a native iOS app written in SwiftUI with no external dependencies.

04b · Mission briefing

Signal Void, in depth.

Signal Void is a free, minimalist sci-fi puzzle game for iPhone and iPad. Every mission is a broken energy circuit: tap tiles to rotate them 90°, align the relays, and route power from the source node to every target. If you enjoy pipe-routing puzzles, circuit-connection games, or calm logic puzzles like nonograms and flow grids, this is that idea rebuilt as a mission-control experience — clean lines, mono-spaced telemetry, and a network that lights up the moment you close a path.

The journey spans 330 hand-crafted missions across 10 regions of the Solar System, from your first calibration above the Earth–Moon corridor to the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud. Difficulty rises with new mechanics — branching networks, locked tiles, interference — never with artificial walls. A per-mission move budget rewards precision: solve in fewer rotations, earn a higher rank, and climb the Game Center leaderboards. Progress syncs across your devices with iCloud.

It's also a puzzle game that respects you. No ads, no energy timers, no forced waits — and it plays fully offline, which makes it a perfect brain game for flights, commutes, and anywhere your signal drops. Built natively in SwiftUI, it stays smooth at 60/120fps and downloads in seconds.
