    While it could certainly benefit from online leaderboards and some more motivations to play it again once finished, Nuclien shows that it gets things right when it comes to its gameplay mechanics.

    At its best, which is when a level is at just the right difficulty for the individual player, Nuclien provides a very smooth, fast-paced, and satisfying number puzzle experience. The aesthetic is pleasing for the most part, and blasting your way through intricate layouts feels great. With only a couple of hours’ worth of content on offer, all of which is based around the same concept, Nuclien does feel a little bare-bones (although, in fairness, this is reflected in the asking price). It won’t wow or amaze you as you play, but it isn’t a bad way to pass the time, either - especially if you enjoy quick reflex puzzles on the go.

    If you are looking for a light puzzle game without much pretension, Nuclien fulfills its mission perfectly. You will spend hours testing your reflexes at levels as short as challenging.
