This is a port of Enigma to the PS Vita and Nintendo Switch. Enigma is a skill/puzzle game inspired by Oxyd on the Atari ST and Rock'n'Roll on the Amiga.

Features

Game controller support: analog joystick mouse controls and button mappings.
Front and rear touch controls with left/right mouse click gestures.
Complete level packages with >3,000 levels and pre-calculated preview screenshots.
Bluetooth/USB keyboard and mouse support. The Vita supports only a limited number of BT devices, tested working with Jelly Bean BT keyboard and mouse combo ASIN:B06Y56BBYP and with the standalone Jelly Comb Bluetooth Wireless Mouse ASIN:B075HBDWCF.

Installation

Install the VPK on your homebrew enabled PS Vita or PS TV.

Extract the contents of data.zip into ux0:data.

Note: It is recommended using FTP transfer to copy the files over (~10,000 small files in data.zip). There is one report (thanks @ji11x38) that using the VitaShell Select button - USB option to copy files directly from a MacOS computer to the Vita via USB caused the files to not transfer correctly, causing Enigma to crash on startup.

User guide

The object of the game is to uncover pairs of identically colored Oxyd stones. Simple? Yes. Easy? Certainly not! Hidden traps, vast mazes, laser beams, and, most of all, countless hairy puzzles usually block your direct way to the Oxyd stones...

If you are new to Enigma, you may want to take a look at the user manual.
