A downloadable game

Neutralize is a chill but perplexing 1-bit puzzler built for the Playdate.

Swipe tiles across a 6×6 grid to combine positive and negative numbers. Matching signs merge and grow — opposites cancel out and disappear. Fill the board with zeros to clear the level and advance.

Four escalating levels introduce higher-magnitude tiles and tighter odds. Eight shuffles per game, charged by cranking. Use them wisely.

  • A unique tile-sliding mechanic distilled to its essence
  • Deep strategy, simple rules — like playing chess against yourself
  • 18 unlockable achievements
  • Efficiency and high-score leaderboards
  • Satisfying animations and 1-bit visual polish throughout
