Naboki is a masterclass in minimalist puzzle design. Created by Maciej Targoni, who is known for other zen hits like 'HOOK' and 'klocki,' Naboki takes a different approach: instead of building something, your goal is to disassemble it. You have to figure out the correct order to remove pieces from a 3D board, which sounds simple but quickly becomes a complex mental exercise in spatial reasoning.

There are no timers, no scores, and no text. It’s just you, the puzzle, and a beautiful meditative soundtrack by Wojciech Wasiak. The lack of pressure makes it one of the most relaxing games I've ever played. It’s perfect for people who enjoy 'unfolding' logic and want an experience that feels like a digital version of a physical wooden puzzle. It's a premium, ad-free experience that respects your time and your intelligence.

Dinsun Review

Dinsun here. Finally, a game that doesn't scream at me with neon colors and air horns. Naboki is a 'disassembly' puzzle. You’re presented with a blocky 3D shape, and you have to figure out which pieces can slide out without being blocked by others. It’s tactile and thoughtful.

There are no scores, no '3-star' ratings, and no ticking clocks. It’s just you and the logic of the object. My 40-year-old brain appreciates the silence—there’s not even text in the game. It’s a bit short (48 levels), and once you’ve solved a puzzle, there's zero reason to go back, but for the price of a cheap coffee, it’s a high-quality experience. This is what mobile gaming should look like: focused, aesthetic, and respectful.

Tips

Understanding Directional Logic

Look at the symbols on the pieces; they indicate which direction they can move. Some pieces act as 'locks' for others, so you must find the specific sequence that frees the entire structure.

The Zen Experience

There is no 'wrong' move in Naboki. If a piece won't move, it's simply blocked by another. Use your finger to rotate the 3D board and view the puzzle from every angle to find the next move.
