pdblix

A casual puzzle game for Playdate.  Make columns of three matching tiles by shifting the three rows left or right, but keep an eye on your remaining moves!  Each completed column awards you more moves to keep playing.

Features:

• Relaxing background music (which can be toggled off from the system menu)
• Three game modes, each with a different ruleset to provide different experiences -- including 'rush' mode, a race against the clock
• Two different tilesets to change up your visuals

Some notes:

This is a port of a game originally by LightForce Games in 2005.  This is done in homage, and is not an attempt to infringe in any way.  I have set this page to no payments and will never accept any payment for this game.

I first encountered Blix in the form of Blix2X on the GP2X handheld, ported by alxmdev.  I've been addicted to this game off and on in the intervening years, and it just seemed to be a perfect fit for the Playdate.  I've certainly added a few of my own tweaks to this version (the balanced and rush modes are my own rulesets), but I hope I've retained the heart of the original game.  I sincerely hope you enjoy this free game.

🦖 This game contains some brief flashing animations, but otherwise is suitable for everyone.

🚹 This app uses the D-pad, the A and B buttons, and optionally the crank.  Classic and Balanced mode do not require any quick inputs.  Rush mode may be a bit more intense.
