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 game features nice and challenging puzzles that gradually escalate in difficulty, providing a satisfying experience similar to solving a Rubik's Cube.
  • Clean visuals and relaxing music create an enjoyable atmosphere, making it a great casual game for short sessions.
  • The inclusion of both standard and challenge modes allows for varied gameplay, catering to different player preferences and skill levels.
  • Controls are poorly optimized for mouse use, as the game was clearly designed with touch devices in mind, leading to frustrating gameplay.
  • The bright color palette can be straining on the eyes, and the placement of level labels over the puzzles can obstruct important colors.
  • Sound effects, particularly the victory and failure sounds, are jarring and can detract from the overall experience, making it less relaxing.

    34 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by a simple yet elegant mechanic of rotating hexagons to align colors, reminiscent of a Rubik's Cube, which offers a satisfying challenge and gradual difficulty escalation. While the visuals and music are praised for their calming effect, some players find the gameplay to be somewhat bland and lacking in variety. Additionally, issues with mouse controls and audio interface have been noted, although recent updates have improved the overall experience.

    • “Clean visuals, relaxing music, simple and elegant play mechanics, and gradual escalation of difficulty.”
    • “The game is fluid and the puzzles are mechanically sound.”
    • “Gameplay consists of rotating hexagons such that colors on the wheels line up, and combined colors (purple between red and blue) are in the right place.”
    • “Bland gameplay.”
    • “The only gameplay mechanic is rotating a group of 6 hexes around predetermined centerpoints, to recreate the starting colors.”
    • “The mouse does not work well, so it will grate pretty bad regardless of whether you enjoy the gameplay or not.”
  • music
    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally praised for its relaxing and upbeat nature, enhancing the overall experience during gameplay. While many players enjoy the pleasant background tracks and celebratory music upon completing levels, some find the victory sound effect jarring and disruptive. Additionally, there are concerns about the limited number of tracks and the inability to adjust sound settings without muting the music entirely.

    • “I kept the music on because it had enough variation and I enjoyed its upbeat nature.”
    • “I found the background music pleasant and, whilst not terribly challenging, it is a perfect coffee break or stress break game.”
    • “The celebratory music when you finish a level is so happy.”
    • “But the sounds and music played upon the completion of a puzzle are incredibly loud and jarring compared to everything else.”
    • “None of the trailers or gameplay videos I could find showed this feature, so be warned that it cannot be turned off without having no volume at all, which is sad because the game music is really charming but is ruined by this.”
    • “I don't really listen to the music when I'm playing puzzle games, to be honest.”
  • grinding
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to start off engaging but quickly devolve into tediousness and excessive time consumption, particularly in levels 4-11. While some appreciate the game's cute design and interesting challenges, many feel that the experience is marred by unnecessarily complicated mechanics that detract from enjoyment.

    • “Starts out okay, but fairly quickly the challenge is replaced with tediousness and time consumption.”
    • “4-11 was too large and felt very tedious.”
    • “A cute little puzzle game that provides interesting challenges without being needlessly complicated, so one can enjoy the experience of playing and solving without being weighed down with tedious mechanics.”
  • graphics
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are praised for their clean visuals and good representation, contributing to an overall relaxing experience. The simple and elegant design complements the gameplay, enhancing the aesthetic appeal while maintaining a gradual escalation of difficulty.

    • “Clean visuals, relaxing music, simple and elegant play mechanics, and gradual escalation of difficulty.”
    • “Good graphic representation.”
  • story
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The reviews indicate that the story aspect of the game is hindered by persistent issues, particularly in time-sensitive missions, which detracts from the overall experience. Players find this frustrating, especially during critical gameplay moments.
