“Now free!”
$1.00 USD or more

I’m confused

Sorry, I don’t know how that happened. It’s free now.

Fantastic game! The gameplay is quick to pick up on and the puzzles are well made. It's obvious that a lot of love went into this game, and it shows! Well done!

The launcher in the itch.io desktop app launches the installer every time instead of the game

I can't start it on Linux

[tyrannosaurus_rox@computer No_More_Kings_Linux]$ ./No\ More\ Kings
./No More Kings: error while loading shared libraries: libnotify.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have this problem too..

You need to install lib32-gconf and lib32-libnotify
In arch, both are available in the AUR

I'm definitely not smart enough for this game but it's very good! Each puzzle takes more and more time to solve as I stare at the board in despair, then suddenly find the perfect solution. A great pick for coffee breaks, though an undo button would have been a nice addition!

Is there no APK of this lovely puzzler?
