Stuarts Pixel Games :

If you like bright and colourful pixel art games with relaxing soundtracks, and you’re on Mac or Linux, then get ready, because Puzzledorf, the block-pushing puzzle game from SPG (Stuart’s Pixel Games), is coming to Mac and Linux next Friday, the 19th of July. The game will be available through Steam, with a Steam demo also releasing on all 3 platforms at the same time (Windows, Linux and Mac).
 

The developer is quite excited about finally bringing Puzzledorf to new platforms. With lush new graphics to enjoy, as seen below, and a demo on the horizon, now is a great time to check it out.
 

The new graphics update that has just been released on Steam (Windows) will also become available on Atari VCS next Friday, including a free demo. A demo is currently on Xbox, supporting both Xbox One and Series X, with a full release in the near future. The Xbox demo has surpassed 7,800 downloads.
 

Puzzledorf is a game where you have to match coloured blocks with the same coloured targets, with the addition of boulders that are simply obstacles in your way. There’s no time limit, so you can play at your own pace, and it includes beginner levels with a gradual difficulty curve to help players new to the genre. The game also includes colour blind options. If you get stuck, the relaxing soundtrack will keep things chill, with relaxing waterfalls and colourful pixel art to stare at while you consider the puzzles solution.
 

There’s also achievements and a mirror mode to give you reasons to come back and play a second time round. Mirror Mode takes advantage of a mental trick that Leonardo Davinci used to use – he would look at his own paintings in a mirror to trick his mind into thinking he hadn’t seen them before, thus making it easier to spot areas for improvement. Likewise, playing Mirror Mode makes your brain think you’re seeing the puzzle for the first time, so you can’t easily complete them based on memory.
 

Puzzledorf is currently available to buy on Steam for Windows right now at $9.99 USD. Look forward to Mac and Linux releasing on Steam next week, and other platforms in the future. If you enjoy, leaving a review helps the game stand out to the stores algorithm and become more easily discovered. Reviews are a great way to help indie developers.
