About the game
A cross-shaped 3D slider built like a small puzzle artifact.
Mind Cross asks you to move tiles through a 3D cross. Slide a tile into an opening, rotate a cube face, inspect the goal, and slowly bring the board back to order.
The first puzzles are color puzzles. Tiles are grouped by color, and you only need to restore the color pattern. It is calm, tactile, and learnable.
The final puzzles are exact art puzzles. In Master mode, every tile has one precise home and one upright roll. Empty spaces reveal subdued clues from the solved board.
No ads. No timers. No pressure. Think at your own pace, use undo, ask for a hint, or tap Finish it to watch the recorded scramble unwind.

Questions
A few quick answers.
Is Mind Cross a color puzzle or a 3D slider puzzle?
Both. The beginner levels use interchangeable color tiles. Advanced modes reduce the breathing room, and Master requires exact tile placement across the 3D board.
Can I play without the internet?
Yes. Mind Cross is designed to play offline, with no ads, no accounts, and no third-party tracking.
Is it timed?
No. Mind Cross tracks moves, not pressure. You can rotate, think, undo, inspect the goal, and solve at your own pace.
What does the optional unlock do?
Mind Cross Complete opens Hard, Expert, and Master, premium tile skins, and exact-art packs. The free game still includes the gentler color-puzzle modes.
