    Slow down with Blyss, a calming ambient puzzle game.



    Description

    Blyss is an elegant ambient procedural puzzle experience. Quite a definition there!

    It's a self-evolving endless puzzle experience supported by ambient themes, with each having its own melody. These themes will enhance the gameplay by providing varied range of emotional experiences. While some themes will offer sadness and emptiness, others are happy and bright. Its very simple and clear with its gameplay objective, eliminate every single dot populating the screen and reach highest level you can. As the player delves deeper to the higher levels, more elements are introduced inside the game.

    Studio

    Dropout Games is a year old indie studio based in India. It was founded by 2 college dropouts who weren't happy with their game dev college and decided to take a different route all together. It's been a year since we started and have made one title called UNWYND. UNWYND's performance helped us financially and
    that indeed helped us expand our team further. Now we are 3 dropouts instead of 2 and we've been working on Blyss ever since. It's been around a year into Blyss' development and the game's in a good and showable state.

    Features

    - Self-Evolving endless gameplay with a perfect blend of frustrating and zen elements.
    - Procedurally generated grid based pattern system.
    - A simple combination based control scheme.
    - Multiple Ambient themes, with each one offering their own music and emotional appeal.
    - Advanced combo system for players to master and maximize their score.
    - Three Game Modes: Infinite Mode, Timed Mode and our very own receipe, "Play Ground Mode".
    - Special customized challenges for players to complete.
    - Challenge your friends and compete for best High Score with Game Center.
    - Additional complexity elements as player reaches higher level.
    - A premium game with no in-app purchases.

    I have written a preview of the game if you are interested. It goes through the basics of the game and as far as I am aware is the only one at the moment. I wont post it here because I dont think TA will approve. But you should be able to find it through the games twitter feed.

    Hello there. As Triggywiggy suggested, you can read his preview. It indeed is quite a preview with focus on the gameplay. If you're curious about it, we'd also be happy to send you a TestFlight invite for the next build which should be available somewhere around next week.

    Happy to know that there's a UNWYND fan here. We've worked twice as hard on Blyss and it has turned out into a nice experience without the flaws that UNWYND had. I'm sure you'll love it.

    had to watch the video twice, but got it now. Truly serene. Music, animation really goes hand in hand to make the experience great.
