What players say
SiNKR - You play puzzles with hooks and, well...sinkers. While the concept is very straight forward, some of the puzzles really make the ol' gears grind and turn for a change. Loved the challenge and highly recommend you to pick it up. Buy the dev a coffee I say!

SiNKR, developed by Robert Wahler and published by Wahler Digital, is a minimalist puzzle game that proves that simplicity, when handled with precision and purpose, can be deeply satisfying. From the very first moment, it establishes a tranquil rhythm that feels almost meditative. There are no words, no instructions, and no distractions-just a quiet grid filled with shapes, hooks, and pathways. The game's premise is...
THis is a straightforward little puzzle game, and I was expecting something along the likes of the game Hook, which this is bundled with. None of the puzzles are very hard and there's only a few mechanics to deal with... but some of the puzzles are basically autoplay... while others demand you toggle and change parts while pieces are in motion and going through teleport and cloning devices. None of it is very taxing...
