Fourtex Jugo

Fourtex Jugo is an abstract strategy game played on a grid of tiles. You combine particles to create other particles and, ultimately, voids, then manipulate the voids to reach or exceed each level’s target score. You can compete on leaderboards or try to beat your personal best.

Particle strategy

The pieces have three tiers: 14 numbered particles, three more basic particles and two fundamental particles. Particles in each tier combine with matching pieces according to simple rules to create another particle; the fundamental particles combine to create a void. Numbered particles combine with matching numbers to make the next number, up to 15, which begins the next tier. They can also combine with color-compatible particles; these pairs add up to 15.

Voids impose a turn-based limit on play. In most levels, you must time their creation and position them carefully, making good use of them while avoiding having them take one of your particles. For an additional challenge, you can aim to meet the target score without any particle interacting with a void.

Levels and scores

Handcrafted campaign levels are guaranteed to be playable to three stars. Daily levels refresh their initial layouts every 24 hours and are designed to challenge experienced players; they often, but not always, allow three-star play. Levels are not locked, so you can move on if one is too difficult or does not appeal to you.

You can approach each level at different difficulty levels:

• One star: complete the level for a casual game or while learning the basics.
• Two stars: use voids effectively to reach scores higher than those usually possible in a perfect game and compete for the highest score.
• Three stars: beat the level’s target score without any particle interacting with a void. This ranges from difficult to extremely challenging, and earning three stars on every level is the game’s ultimate goal.

Artwork and audio

The game features original artwork and context-sensitive original audio. The audio track is enhanced when voids appear.
