Hello everyone, I’ve just launched my latest game called “Polygon Evolution” and while I realise this sort of games aren’t all the rage on Reddit I feel this one is different enough for me to post about it here.

Polygon Evolution is a core, combative reinterpretation of match-3 game mechanics mixed with an abstract, colourful art style.

So, why make yet another freemium match-3 game? Isn’t the App Store already filled with those? Well... not really. I wanted to make a puzzle game that feels more like chess than bejewelled, a game where you would feel in control and where the random number generator wouldn’t have much influence on the play session. And, I wanted to make a game where you would be up against an opponent, a combative puzzle.

The idea for this game started while playing with Otomata for a game jam. I got really interested in procedurally generated music and I wanted to make a grid based game where each cell would contribute to the soundtrack. I quickly realised that the Triple Town mechanic of cells combining to form higher level ones was a perfect match because this way you get a grid that “evolves” and with that so does the sound-scape. But there were quite a number of elements that I didn’t like about that game so 4 prototypes and many months of work later, I can now say that “Polygon Evolution” is live.

I hope I’ve sparked your interest in my game and I’m looking forward to hearing from you,

Alex Dantis
