StarBox is one of the puzzle games in the Diemakora collection. It loads in seconds and needs nothing installed. StarBox 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. Its tags tell you what to expect: gathering items or collectibles is the goal.

Tips and tricks

  • Count. Tiles, moves, colours, matches — many puzzles are secretly arithmetic, and a quick count reveals the plan.
  • Work backwards from the goal. Ask what the final state has to look like, then ask what the state before that must be.
  • 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.

A typical session is a level or two in five minutes, or a long relaxed session. Difficulty-wise it is gentle at the start and genuinely tricky later.
