How it feels

a cheerful but deceptively deep block puzzle that coaxes you into chaining colorful streams

What players say

Players find Tidalis a mixed puzzle experience. The stream-based matching mechanic is novel but often confusing and hard to chain reliably. Many note the campaign has random difficulty spikes, and the story is so poorly written it feels unnecessary. Repetition sets in quickly, though some appreciate the variety of block types.
