Download This: PRISM is a trippy and abstract puzzle game

Puzzle games are some of the most popular in the Play Store. They come in all shapes and sizes. Some are simple as can be, while others make you tear your hair out. PRISM is a puzzle game that falls into the latter category, but not for the reasons you might think.

PRISM (technically “_PRISM”) is a beautiful and abstract game. Underneath all the glitter and glam is a relatively simple puzzle game. The idea is to match colored dots to colored circles. The dots are connected to lines that can slide, rotate, and be moved. So not only are you matching dots, but it’s also a like finding the perfect puzzle piece. It only works in one way.

What makes PRISM so frustrating is the lack of instruction. You’re thrown into the game with no tutorial or tips. In most cases, you can figure out what to do, but I ran into a few areas where I was left clueless. Sometimes you just have to tap the dots until something happens. For a game that costs $2.99, it would be nice to know how to actually play the game.

Don’t let that deter you from trying the game. Once you figure things out (watching the video above should help), PRISM is a very fun and challenging puzzle game. The developer says the game should take about an hour to finish, but in my testing, I think it could take longer than that. The visuals and music are stunning as well.
