Join Kat and her crew in an epic quest in Flipon, a juicy, fun and fast-paced arcade puzzle game!
The core gameplay involves moving a horizontal 2-block cursor to swap adjacent blocks of the same color. Players must create chains of 3 or more matching blocks to clear them from the playing field.
Unlike the Tetris Attack series, where blocks could be swapped both horizontally and vertically, this game restricts cursor movement to the horizontal axis only. This forces players to think more strategically about how they line up their matches. Blocks that are not supported from below will fall down, rather than immediately clearing. Players can take advantage of this by creating matches as the blocks are in mid-fall. Many levels introduce additional gameplay gimmicks, such as randomly changing block colors, garbage blocks that require specific clearing conditions, and more. This helps keep the gameplay fresh and challenging throughout the campaign.
Reviewers praise the high skill ceiling, noting that while the basics are easy to pick up, mastering the nuances of chain building and block placement takes significant practice. The difficulty ramps up dramatically, requiring quick thinking and dexterity to succeed.
In addition to the main campaign mode, the game offers a Score Attack endless high-score mode, a Challenge procedural puzzle mode with preset goals, and a local Versus multiplayer for up to 4 players. These modes provide additional longevity and replayability for players who enjoy the core gameplay.
The game supports multiple input methods, including keyboard, controller, and mouse, allowing players to choose their preferred control scheme. It also includes an optional speed boost function to adjust the pace to individual skill levels.
