What Is Tidalis?


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.
In short, several games' worth of content are built on top of this core
mechanic, which you'll quickly find to be as iconic as it is novel. Get the demo now!


What Makes Tidalis Unique?



What happens when a notable indie strategy developer makes a puzzle game? We have no idea. Our first game happened
to be a notable indie strategy game, but we've never considered ourselves tied to any particular genre. Truth is, we
made Tidalis because we like puzzle games and we wanted to take our opportunity to innovate in that space.


The "streams" mechanic employed by Tidalis is what makes it so unique -- chain reactions with a dozen blocks are
trivially easy to create. This makes the game really easy to get into, but also makes the creation of advanced multi-stage
combos more challenging than in other block-based puzzlers. At an advanced level of play, it's the difference between
Chess and Checkers; with Tidalis in the hands of an expert, there are more variables to keep in mind as you set up truly
elegant interactions.


But never fear: the easier difficulty levels are quite relaxed, and our Zen mode provides a particularly no-rush style
of gameplay. The core mechanics are so simple that the two-year-old daughter of one of our staff enjoys playing along
with him. And we suppose it goes without saying that many of our mothers are hooked on it, too.


Whether you're just looking for a casual fun time, a deep and strategic puzzle experience, or a series of brain-bending
puzzles, we've got you covered. About half of the five staff members working on this game are the hardcore puzzle types,
and the other half have completely casual tastes. We've approached this with our usual attention to detail: the
mechanics of the timing, chain merging, and other mechanics have been refined to a ridiculous degree to provide an
optimal experience in all play styles.

Puzzle games. Not my thing.

Fine! Don't like anything beyond Empire Total War!

Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Battlefield, Etc.

Either it's me with a broad liking of many game genres, or your stinginess!

I know what I like.
