Ju Studios at BETA FEST SOFA 2024: Showcasing Juzzle Puzzle
From October 10th to 14th, we had the honor of being selected to participate in BETA FEST, the dedicated space for Colombia's video game industry within the Salón del Ocio y la Fantasía (SOFA 2024)Organized by Tan Grande y Jugando with the support of UNITY, the event brought together 25 of the country’s most outstanding independent studios. We are proud to have been part of this amazing experience with our latest project: Juzzle Puzzle.
Juzzle Puzzle: Strategy Meets Minimalist Design
Juzzle Puzzle is our latest creation—a puzzle game that blends minimalist design with strategic depth. Inspired by Conway’s Game of Life and chess, we crafted an experience that challenges players to think carefully about every move.
With soft colors and rounded edges, we aimed to create a calm yet mentally stimulating experience. The intuitive controls allow players to slide blocks in any direction with a simple swipe, ensuring smooth and tactile gameplay. Key features include:
- Unlockable hints: Use points to overcome tougher challenges.
- Daily challenges: Compete with others in unique puzzles every day.
- Level design: Create your own puzzles and share your creativity.
Juzzle Puzzle embodies our vision of combining simplicity and complexity to deliver a game that’s both accessible and challenging for players of all ages.
Our SOFA 2024 Experience
Over the five days of the event, more than 10,000 people tested Juzzle PuzzleIt was incredible to see the audience’s reactions and to receive such positive feedback from attendees and industry professionals alike. Many praised its elegant design and innovative mechanics, which reinforces our passion for creating memorable gaming experiences.
This event was not only an opportunity to showcase our work but also to connect with other developers, explore future collaborations, and strengthen our presence as an independent studio on the rise.
