Prismatica

About

Prismatica is a puzzle game that combines elements of Rubik's Cubes, Sudoku, and Dodecahedrons. The goal is to unscramble puzzle boards by rotating multicolored pieces to match a logical pattern. With the release of update 1.2, the game now includes a Challenge mode, audio and volume rebalancing, a revamped Win screen, and other improvements. The game is easy to learn, but its brain-tickling challenges make it difficult to master even for veteran puzzle enthusiasts.

The gameplay is characterized by clean visuals and a simple yet elegant mechanic of rotating hexagons to align colors, reminiscent of a Rubik's Cube. While the puzzles offer a satisfying challenge and gradual difficulty escalation, some players find the gameplay to be somewhat bland and lacking in variety. Overall, the experience is enhanced by relaxing music, though there are some concerns regarding interface and audio issues.

- “The game is fluid and the puzzles are mechanically sound.”
- “Bland gameplay.”
- “The only gameplay mechanic is rotating a group of 6 hexes around predetermined centerpoints, to recreate the starting colors.”
- “While this does provide a good amount of challenge and complexity, I still wish there was more variety in the gameplay.”
