Nexus

Nexus combines discrete math puzzles with custom rune design, and it works as a competitive puzzle-solving platform where players climb ranks based on performance. Public player profiles show ranking, firstblood achievements, ELO points, and unlocked badges.

I see Nexus growing into a community that creates and shares challenges, making it dynamic over time. The community-driven challenge creation flow is planned core functionality.

Ranking

Everyone starts at the pawn rank and advances through various achievements by collecting points.

Solving puzzles gives you points, the more points you score the higher your rank is. Top 20 players are displayed on the leaderboard. Only the top player has his rank changed into Sovereign. Being the first to solve a new challange gives a big bonus of points, called the firstblood bonus. Alongside this there is a time bonus catered to each challange. You will get points for solving a challange only once.
