Hi,

I’m a developer, not a carpenter, but I got interested in how much triangle/layout work still happens through quick sketches and visual reasoning instead of traditional calculators.

So I built a small iPhone tool that tries to make triangle constraints feel more visual and tactile instead of spreadsheet-like.

At this point I genuinely don’t know whether this is actually useful in real carpentry workflows, or just something that feels nice from a software/UI perspective.

If a few people here would be willing to try it on real measurements/layout situations and tell me what feels wrong, impractical, confusing, or missing, I’d honestly really appreciate it.

Molekula is a minimalist puzzle game built around a simple idea: assembling elements in new and intuitive ways.

Complete a molecule and a small chain reaction clears the board, creating a calm rhythm of cause and effect. 

Designed for iPhone, Molekula offers a fluid, tactile experience with a clean aesthetic and a quietly relaxing atmosphere.

I’ll be happy to have your opinion about it.

Description:
Molekula is a minimalist puzzle game built around a simple idea: assembling elements in new and intuitive ways. There’s no text or tutorial: you learn by touching, moving, and experimenting. Complete a molecule and a small chain reaction clears the board, creating a calm rhythm of cause and effect. Designed for iPhone, Molekula offers a fluid, tactile experience with a clean aesthetic and a quietly relaxing atmosphere.

Free to Play

Involvement:
I made Molekula entirely on my own. Design, code, visuals, level logic, polish, everything. It’s a fully solo project from start to finish… and now I’m doing the promo 😉

I recently released a minimalist puzzle game on iOS where there is no tutorial or explanation.
The player has to discover all mechanics by experimenting — understanding how elements interact, creating chain reactions, and gradually figuring out the underlying rules.

I’m curious how this approach feels to puzzle players:
does it make the experience more engaging, or just confusing without guidance?
