Dream of Pixels, a falling blocks puzzle game, in reverse!

[DawnOfPlay]

Ladies and gentlemen,

we would like to announce Dream of Pixels, our upcoming falling blocks puzzle game, in reverse!

The brilliant twist on the old classic is the unpacking of tetromino blocks in place of the usual packing. Simply tap on the descending grid to unpack the tetrominos and watch them spin, rotate and drop with gravity. Clear the lines from the beautiful cloudy grid fast enough or it's - dream over.

This looks gorgeous. Is there a puzzle mode with levels? Or are the modes endless with tetris-like gameplay?

Thanks!

There are 3 endless modes,
a puzzle mode (you can see some of the levels in the trailer after the "loads of challenging puzzles" title) and
a speedrun mode called Nightmare (end-the-"nightmare"-as-soon-as-you-can).

All of the modes have the same basic mechanic of unstacking tetromino blocks from the grid, except in Puzzle mode the grid doesn't descend, so no time pressure.

Here's some samples of how the puzzles look like - animated screenshots you can also make (and share!) from within the game:

Last week was pretty amazing for Dream of Pixels so we thought we should share the re-cap:

After announcing the release date (Nov 15) with the latest gameplay trailer (above) this followed on Friday:

slideDB.com, a sister site to modDB.com and indieDB.com launched with Dream of Pixels on the frontpage as we added it to indieDB just a day before.

Dream of Pixels rised in popularity on the indieDB.com to #2, just after Minecraft (being second only to Minecraft - can you believe that?)

KOTAKU picked it up and praised the trailer! Whoa!

KOTAKU / Tetris in Reverse Looks and Sounds Positively Dreamy


Our trailer got hit by 5.000 views in one day.

That cloud looks like a cow! Or is it a cow that looks like a cloud? . I love games that take classic gameplay and burnish it with a truly unique art style. Gotta put this on my watch list.
