Shape Hunter is one of the puzzle games in the Diemakora collection. It loads in seconds and needs nothing installed. Shape Hunter asks you to think before you act. There is no clock chasing you in most levels — only a board, a set of rules, and the pleasure of the solution clicking into place. A few things the tags reveal: progress comes from clicks or taps that snowball through upgrades; it teaches or practises a skill — often maths, reading or logic — while you play.
About Shape Hunter
Welcome to Shape Hunter, an exhilarating adventure where your reflexes and shape recognition skills are put to the test! In this engaging game, your primary objective is to navigate through a series of gates that challenge your ability to transform into the correct geometric shape. As you advance forward, you'll encounter various gates with a specific shape presented above them.
What makes a good puzzle game? Usually levels that teach one idea at a time, hints or undo options and a calm pace — and Shape Hunter has each of them in some measure. Playing it works your logic and patience, which is a large part of why the "one more round" feeling is so strong.

Tips and tricks
- 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.
- If you are stuck for more than a couple of minutes, step away and come back. Puzzle solutions often arrive when you stop forcing them.
- Look for forced moves — places where only one option is legal. Solving those first shrinks the problem.
- Because this is a Clicker game, buy the cheapest upgrade that multiplies output rather than the flashiest one.
- Because this is a Arcade game, restart early when a run goes wrong instead of grinding out a poor score.
