About Tidalis
✦ AI summary
Draw paths through falling colored blocks with directional arrows to trigger chain reactions and clear the board before it overflows, in a deceptively deep puzzle game that ranges from quick casual fun to mind-bending brainteasers across 20+ modes. With co-op and competitive multiplayer, stunning art, gorgeous music, and extensive accessibility options, Tidalis packs several games' worth of content onto one elegantly simple core mechanic.
Tidalis is a block-based puzzle game with casual appeal, hardcore depth, and an addictive new "streams" mechanic. The game is brimming over with riffs and variants on that core mechanic with 20 game modes, dozens of special blocks and items, and 115 levels in the adventure mode alone. 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.

[h1] Puzzle game that is more on a bad side. You don't have control over blocks, you can just increase drop frequency - it's not your typical match 3 game. Gameplay is all about clicking on right tiles to send waves in direction they are facing to touch at least 3 of the same color, nothing spectacular. There's story mode which appears to be ok, but not engaging enough to make you wanna play one more round like in Jewel Quest or similar games for example. Hard pass. [/h1]18 found this helpful

[h1]✨ THE ABSOLUTE ULTIMATE TITANIC TIDALIS TERMINATION: THE BLOODY BUSTER MULTIVERSE MADDENED MASHUP ✨[/h1] The Setting: The industrial garage has transformed into a high-stakes, interdimensional bunker. The reinforced roof has partially collapsed under the staggering weight of the watchers; Tiny (Dota 2), Galio, and The Thing have settled their massive forms into the architecture, their stony faces peering through the jagged ceiling like a living mountain range. 🗿🗿🗿 Inside, the atmosphere is electric. Braum stands like a sentinel at the center, his massive door-shield acting as a physical barrier against the radiant light pouring from a screen that is currently humming at a critical frequency. Lux and Karma flank the hardware, weaving a complex web of Prismatic shields and spiritual Mantras to keep the equipment stable. Every eye in the room—from the mercenaries on the toolboxes to the mages on the grease-stained floor—is locked onto the screen. Jinx: [Smashing the mouse with the force of a thousand Super Mega Death Rockets] 🖱️💥 IF YOU WANT TO GO, THEN YOU GO TO THE HILL AND GO DOWN! WHY ARE YOU GETTING WILD, GIRL? IF A GIRL GETS WILD—ARE YOU CRAZY? YOU’RE FLIPPING... YOU…
This game gave me so much trouble getting it to start the one time I had an itch to play it. I can't remember how I finally got it working. It didn't work for a really long period of time, and after I did finally play it I never wanted to play it again.
Puzzle game about activating blocks with arrows. The arrows point to the direction of blocks they will activate. You can make some neat chain reactions The graphics are a bit dated and the game isn't really my thing.
It has forced resolution of the 90s which will not maximums and the game is weird
