At one time or another, most of us have owned a version of the “”14-15″” puzzle. You remember, the little plastic square with 15 smaller numbered squares inside, and you had to shuffle them around to put them in order?
I recall one I had as a kid that I took on long car trips, and another I bought at Disneyland, which when solved, showed Donald Duck’s face! Wow!
Anyway, it was with these fond memories that I decided to write MicroLink Loyd, a PC-based version of “”14-15″”.”
Another thing that really makes Loyd enjoyable for me is how it manages to stay interesting even after playing it multiple times. Many games feel repetitive after a while, but here, the experience still feels fresh because of the small details and different ways you can approach the gameplay. As you continue playing, you naturally start improving and understanding the mechanics better, which makes everything feel more rewarding. I also appreciate the balance the game maintains—it’s not too difficult, but it’s not too easy either. You can play it casually for a short break or spend longer sessions without getting bored. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to Loyd. Overall, it’s the kind of game that doesn’t just entertain you for a moment, but actually gives you a consistently enjoyable experience every time you play.
