Mirror Codex

Pair the notebook sketches before the candle burns down. Sort the loose pages of a notebook by candlelight with pixel Leonardo da Vinci. Turn two cards at a time, pair up gears, wings, flowers and flying screws, and keep track when the grid flips in this free memory game.

Twist: Every 5 misses the whole grid flips left to right, like mirror writing, so remember both sides.

Parody. Leonardo da Vinci has no involvement in making these games and does not endorse them. The character is an original pixel-art caricature.

How to play

  1. Click or tap a card to turn it over, or move the cursor with the arrows (WASD) and press Space or Enter. Turn two cards: if they match, they stay face up.
  2. After every 5 misses the whole grid flips left to right, like mirror writing: a card on the far left jumps to the far right. The top bar warns you one miss before it happens.
  3. Each pair is worth 20 points, plus 5 for every level. A cleared grid adds 50 points and 5 more for each second left, then a bigger grid is dealt.
  4. Two different cards turn back after a moment, so remember where they sit and where they will land after a flip. The round ends when the clock reaches zero.
  5. M switches sound, P or Esc pauses, and you can share your score at the end.

The story

A gust through the study window has scattered the pages of pixel Leonardo's newest notebook across his desk, every sketch face down. Each drawing was made twice, once to keep and once to send to a friend, so every page has a twin. Before the candle burns out, the pages must be paired and bound again into the Mirror Codex.

There is one small problem: pixel Leonardo writes backwards, from right to left, so every note reads like a reflection. Lose your place too often and the whole desk seems to turn around in the mirror, left becoming right. Gears, wings, eyes and snails wait in neat rows, and each bound bundle brings a thicker one. When the candle goes out, the night's work is done. How much of the notebook can be saved?
