About the game

The title says it all. Take one part falling block puzzle game, combine one part old-school platformer, add a couple thousand pixels, blend and serve. Why match colored blocks when you can just shoot the hell out of them? Your goal is to survive as long as you can. From celebrated indie developer Andrew Morrish and Adult Swim Games.

What players say

A time capsule of game design Man, remember when every other hit release of the 2010s was a "tough-as-nails" 2D platformer? At time of review, "Boomer-Shooters" are the current hotness. They are so much easier . Super Puzzle Platformer combines block-breaking with zero-health frantic avoidance of obstacles. You can get into a really good rhythm with this game, spawning stars just as the hazards start showing up...

mid game but gating content behind golden blocks that just randomly drop and you have to get lucky is such an incredibly stupid decision
