## Cardinal Chains Description
Cardinal Chains is a minimalist puzzle game centering on the concept of non-decreasing sequences.

• Beautiful, lengthy chill-out soundtrack created by accomplished professional artists
• Minimalist, elegant design without timers, ads, purchases or other hassles - just pure gameplay
• Several built-in color themes, including colorblind options. Or...
• ...make your own color themes - right from within the game!
• Features achievements and cloud saves

## Cardinal Chains Reviews in United States

### ***** "Great Aesthetic - Great Puzzles"
Good music, visuals, and satisfying sound effects. Puzzle logic is simple and fair. Got this on Linux from itch.io a few years back. It’s so good buying again to replay on the go now that I have an iPhone. 

Highly recommended.
-- Grosarius, 2024-03-23

### ***** "Entertaining"
Simple concept. I honestly didn’t think I’d enjoy this much. Seemed too easy, but they put together quite the variety of challenging puzzles that kept me engaged. Just wish there was a way I could skip a level and go back to it later. Gets kind of frustrating when you get stuck on one, but I always figure it out eventually.
-- Fishbowl z, 2022-03-14

### ***** "Great easy and challenging puzzle mix"
This game is so much fun. It starts easy. Afterward there is a mix of easy and hard puzzles — so that you can get a rest with an easy puzzle after solving a harder one. They’re challenging put not so hard as to be frustrating. Just get it if you like puzzles.
-- ItsAcademic, 2021-12-11

### ***** "Great game, lovely interface"
The puzzle style has surprising depth, and is satisfying to solve- this is amplified by how well the interface works. Spend $2 on this instead of spending hours of your life watching ads on a free game.
-- chazzay, 2019-10-21

### ***** "Quality and quantity"
Well worth the money. You get a ton of puzzles. The description says 500 and I’ve been playing it for a few weeks and am only on 150. Highly recommended!
-- Mikest34, 2018-07-30

### ***** "Simple Mechanics, Great Puzzle"
Not much to it, but a simply great puzzle game. Can find myself blasting through feeling like a genius then getting stuck on something so simple. Great mix and great fun.
-- sjstark, 2018-05-15

### ***** "Very clean design, excellent level progression"
The only negative thing is “cloud saves” don’t seem to work? Do I have to sign into Game Center (bleck) for that?
-- rotopenguin, 2018-05-10

### ***** "Fun relaxing puzzle game"
It’s just as the title says - this is a great little puzzle game that I love playing when I have a free moment. Nice sound effects and the visuals are clean and minimal. Love it!
-- uNcleargamer, 2018-05-09

### ***** "NerdCubed was right"
NerdCubed set me onto this with a recommends video. I love it
-- Harrison Wyckoff, 2018-05-07

### ****- "worth the price"
A nice casual puzzle game. Not too complicated, but good for a diversion.
-- Albatross Wafer, 2018-04-19
