Fractal: Make Blooms Not War: A Cerebral Odyssey
From the award-winning team that brought you Auditorium and Pulse: Volume One comes Fractal, an enthralling music puzzler experience that will test your skills and expand your consciousness.
Gameplay
Fractal is a unique and challenging puzzle game that combines rhythm, strategy, and a touch of chaos. The goal of the game is to push, combo, and chain your way through a pulsing technicolor dreamscape, all while expanding your consciousness at 130 BPM.
The game is played on a grid of hexagonal tiles, each of which contains a different color and shape. To move a tile, simply push it in the direction you want it to go. When you push a tile, it will move one space in that direction, and any tiles that are adjacent to it will also move one space in the same direction.
The goal of each level is to create a chain of tiles of the same color. When you create a chain of three or more tiles, they will disappear and you will score points. The longer the chain, the more points you will score.
Fractal features three unique and challenging game modes:
- Bloom: In Bloom mode, you must create chains of tiles to make flowers bloom. The flowers will then release spores, which you can use to create even more flowers.
- Chain: In Chain mode, you must create chains of tiles to reach the goal at the end of the level. The goal will move around the level, so you must be quick and strategic in your thinking.
- Combo: In Combo mode, you must create chains of tiles to score points. The more chains you create in a row, the higher your score will be.
Graphics and Sound
Fractal features amazing HD-quality graphics that are both beautiful and psychedelic. The game’s visuals are constantly evolving, and the colors and shapes will change depending on the music that is playing.
The soundtrack to Fractal is also top-notch. The game features an ever-evolving soundtrack that will keep you moving and grooving. The music is perfectly synchronized with the gameplay, and it creates a truly immersive experience.
Replayability
Fractal is a game that you can play over and over again. The game features procedurally generated levels, so you will never play the same level twice. Additionally, the game’s three different game modes offer a variety of challenges to keep you entertained.
Conclusion
Fractal: Make Blooms Not War is a must-play for fans of music puzzle games. The game’s unique and challenging gameplay, amazing graphics and sound, and high replayability make it a truly unforgettable experience.
