A downloadable game for Windows

DEMO TESTING PAGE - This game will be released on Steam in Q4 2026

Connect the flux.  Match the values. Solve the systems. 

Criterion is your next brain-tickling game. Work with constraints, tools and creativity to solve complex and engaging optimisation problems.



Each color flux source must be connected to its respective sink. As colors become available, complexity increase. Mix the flux to unlock advanced colors and solve harder systems.




You will need to use processors to increase flux strength to the right number, but space is limited, and every placement comes at a cost. How will you optimise the solutions?




Nine cherry-picked demo levels at your disposal, will you be able to solve all the systems? Minimise your score and create the most elegant solutions to systems!

"I swear there is a solution"

- The Dev



This page is for the demo of Criterion, all help for feedback, debug and crashes are welcomed and are a massive help! I hope you will enjoy this game as much as I enjoyed building its demo! Any feedback about the page as well is welcomed, this is a trial-run before publishing on Steam on Q4 2026 :) The demo will be available on Steam for wishlists when game's stability will be high enough!
