Design Dode
Puzzles Through Geometry. Experiences Through Symmetry
At Design Dode, we create spatial puzzle games rooted in geometric principles and minimalist beauty. Our mission is to make games that are not only relaxing and aesthetic but also mentally stimulating and mathematically pure
From rotating dodecahedrons to tessellation-based logic puzzles, we invite players into quiet, beautiful challenges where every move reveals a deeper layer of pattern, structure, and order
Our Games
-
Polyhedron 12
Navigate a puzzle world shaped like a dodecahedron, solving challenges across each face to unlock symmetry gates and unfold hidden paths
-
Tesselate
A logic-based color puzzle where players tile increasingly complex hexagonal grids using matching rules and fractal algorithms
-
Reflection Axis
Use mirrors and angles to bounce light paths across geometric solids. A game of planning, rotation, and transformation
-
Shape Lore (Prototype)
A meditative environment where players sculpt mathematical solids from fragments—coming soon
Our games are designed for both casual immersion and deep mental focus
Gameplay Mechanics
Our mechanics are inspired by spatial transformations, rotational symmetry, color pairing, path logic, and dimensional compression
In our games, you’ll find:
- Grids that wrap into solids
- Progressive complexity without hand-holding
- Movement restricted by rotational rules
- Rulesets driven by angle alignment
- Light and shadow as pathing logic
Visual Style
Our visual language is influenced by Bauhaus principles, sacred geometry, and abstract sculpture. We use:
-
Soft monochromes and precise gradients
-
Minimalist UI without distractions
-
Procedural visual transitions
-
Organic soundscapes with harmonic repetition
-
Shape-first environments with intuitive flow
The visuals aren’t just skin—they are part of the puzzle
Educational Applications
Beyond entertainment, our games are used for:
We welcome collaborations with educators and researchers interested in using our tools
Research & Development
Our puzzle structures are informed by:
We believe puzzles can evolve, not just entertain
