A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

A puzzle game about discovery.

Iridescence is a game about working through problems by approaching them from a direction that might be less than obvious, where the first systems you're introduced to might still surprise you halfway through, and where the joy of having a solution "click" in your mind is the paramount goal.

  • Exploratory play and an intuitive, text-free tutorial that seamlessly introduces new mechanics without breaking the flow of the game.
  • 50 mind-bending puzzles, plus the Ogmo editor project used to create the original levels and full support for mods.
  • Original ambient/electronic soundtrack by Chris Logsdon.

Iridescence is out for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android.
All downloads are DRM-free.

Played about 40% of the levels so far. (edit: finished it now)

Game design is solid, levels are well designed to introduce the player to new concepts, I enjoyed it.

Audio (Music + SFX) is nice and fits the vibe.

Graphic design is great in some ways (cool effects) but feels amateurish in others:

  • lines partially covering other lines
  • lines have inconsistent thicknesses
  • sometimes gradients and sometimes solid colors for no apparent reason
  • why rectangles instead of squares? (same width & height is easier on the eyes)

Good game generally but could use some polish.

Stumbled upon this by chance, really impressive little puzzler, the non-verbal teaching of the rules is very intuitive. Love games that give that AHA! feeling when you solve a puzzle you've been stuck on.
