I like puzle games quite a bit, but Prismatica just does too many things I didn't really appreciate. I did complete the game in its entirety with all challenge stars, and felt like I was playing a flash game the entire time. That's not inherently a bad thing- there are some very good flash games out there, but this just felt... average when compared to an average pool. The only gameplay mechanic is rotating a group of 6 hexes around predetermined centerpoints, to recreate the starting colors. Red touch red, Orange touch red and yellow, and so on. Points where all 3 colors connect are gray instead of the expected white, and only show up late. This mechanic works very well and feels almost like unraveling a Rubik's Cube: but ultimately it came down to solving a few hexes on the edge and working to the other side. The final moves were a matter of fiddling around until it worked, which wasn't terribly engaging. I suppose I could have logically worked out a series of moves that would swap ...

About the Game
Prismatica is a puzzle game with a brand new twist, inspired by Rubik’s Cubes, Sudoku, Dodecahedrons and way, way too much caffeine.The goal is to unscramble a series of puzzle boards by rotating multicolored pieces to match a logical pattern. It’s easy to learn and simple to play but surprisingly deep and difficult to master at later levels, presenting even the most veteran of puzzle enthusiasts with brain-tickling challenge.
Prismatica's aesthetic design and feel is intended to be calm and essentialist, presenting the player with a pure puzzle to focus on solving in a flowing natural way. A hauntingly beautiful soundtrack from award winning indie folk musician Svavar Knutur reinforces the stoic atmosphere of contemplation and mental challenge presented by the deceptively simple looking puzzles.

This is a nice, casual game. The game methodology is fairly straightforward. They mix up hexagonal, colored wheels, and then you put them back in order. The hexes are in color (there is a colorblind option as well that includes patterns on the hexes) and the hub of each of the wheels tells you what hex colors go there. There are also mixed colors (yellow and red = orange; blue and yellow = green; red and blue = purple). The mixed colored hexes are, as you’ve probably figured out, for where the wheels overlap. The first two puzzle rounds show you how you will solve the remainder of the puzzles, and then you go through four grades of 12 puzzles. PRO: Very easy to learn, very relaxing and enjoyable. Good graphic representation. CON: No additional downloadable puzzles. Once you’ve gone through the 48 puzzles you can go into the options menu reset so that you can run through them again, but there is not a more difficult level to put to the puzzles. I would have loved to see more combi...
This game is nice, simple and exactly what you'd expect from the genre. EXCEPT there's really loud and jarring SFX when you win/lose a level.
Interesting puzzle game that twists your brain in weird directions. This game requires your full attention to solve the puzzles so it's not for the occasational puzzle solving while doing something else, the timer and move counter add a bit of competitiveness to solving the puzzles which can be quite complicated so if you are a perfectionist you might have a problem solving the puzzles with perfect scores. The music is nice but the "victory" sound effect is quite jarring and rips you outof whatever "zone" you were in while solving the puzzle. Aside from that the only thing this game needs is a "casual" mode, nothing is more distracting than a ticking timer and a move counter while you are just trying to solve brain teasers.
La la la laaaa la la, la la la laaaa la la An upbeat and fun experience throughout. Bat man would be proud.
Well. The gameplay is pretty much shown in the trailer. It's actually very thought provoking after in introduces multiple hexagons getting moved with multiple colors to align correctly. The sounds are pretty decent I suppose. I don't really listen to the music when I'm playing puzzle games to be honest. The noise after you beat a level is pretty great though. It makes you feel like you accomplished something phenomenal. Only minor issue with the game is the wrong cog may turn sometimes which makes it rather hard to do things quickly unfortunately. Also, if you are anything like me and you get in to the zone and accidentally rotate the wrong cog you might freak out and try to correct it and end up rotating another wrong cog and just completely ruin your puzzle. Thankfully there's a color blind mode because the orange doesn't look like orange and I'm sure color blind people would get a kick out of this game too. $5 seems a little steep to be honest, however the $2 i got it for seems ...
a cute lil puzzle game thats provides interesting challenges without being needlessly complicated, so one can enjoy the experience of playing and solving without being weighted down with tedious mechanics. would recommend, the colors are pretty (but not intense enough to hurt your head). haven't spent too much time playing so far, but it was well worth the price.
Although it is a good game, the developers have done a nasty thing of putting the level label directly over the center of each puzzle blocking important colors. It's a serious pain and very short sighted of them. The label should not be RIGHT ON TOP of the puzzle itself but to the side. I hope they fix this.
This game is fun, does need quite a lot of thought. The levels vary in difficulty, in a random order and are very colourful. I do recommend.
I really enjoy this game. If you liked HexCells, you'll probably enjoy this. The sounds are the biggest drawback. I like the music and the pleasant clicks the game makes as you rotate the elements. But the sounds and music played upon the completion of a puzzle are incredibly loud and jarring compared to everything else.
