Tidalis
is a block-based puzzle game with casual appeal, hardcore depth, and an
addictive new "streams" mechanic. The basic rules of the game are this:
blocks fall down into the board and have a color and an arrow
direction. If a stack of blocks exceeds the height of the board, you
lose. In order to clear blocks, you must right-click and drag paths
through the arrows to set up chain reactions of like-colored blocks.
If this sounds
simple, that's because it is -- you'll be lining up lengthy chains
within minutes. But you'll be surprised how much brainpower it takes to
set up combos of multiple chains, and the many brainteaser-style
puzzles include some real stumpers. Tidalis has co-op and competitive
multiplayer modes (both online and offline); action-oriented modes and
timer-less brainteasers; a lengthy, casual-friendly adventure mode;
twenty unique game modes providing innumerable twists to the basic
gameplay; dozens of special blocks and items; and over fifty minutes of
beautiful music to go with the painterly art.
