What makes a good puzzle game? Usually levels that teach one idea at a time, hints or undo options and clear rules that never change unfairly — and Beenvaders has each of them in some measure. The skills it leans on are planning and pattern recognition; both improve noticeably after a few sessions.

Tips and tricks
- Work backwards from the goal. Ask what the final state has to look like, then ask what the state before that must be.
- Do not memorise solutions, memorise principles. The level after this one will use the same idea in a new arrangement.
- Play with sound on if the game has it; audio cues often confirm a correct move before the animation finishes.
- Read the whole board before your first move. In most puzzle games the first move is the most important one, and it deserves ten seconds of looking.
- Because this is a Kids game, younger children do better with a mouse or touch screen than with keyboard combinations.
- Because this is a Hypercasual game, find the rhythm of the single mechanic — that is the entire skill.
