3 Sexy Game Modes

• Campaign Mode

  Campaign Mode takes you through the world of discovery. Each level offers new possibilities of play, while continually expanding on challenges. This is NOT a "more of the same game" scenario; we spent a lot of time crafting a lush campaign that expands, bends, twists, and creates new elements of gameplay that will completely alter the way you view the game. Throw in checkpoints at every ten levels and you have one beautiful experience.

• Puzzle Mode

  Sometimes, it's just nice to have a controlled environment. Puzzle Mode exposes the underlying mechanics of the game, then pushes them to the limit. Test your mettle against 50+ intense scenarios that will hone your skills enough to see you through Campaign mode, right before they set your brain on fire.

• Arcade Mode

  If the other modes strike you as too contemplative, Arcade Mode might be more your speed. It's a good thing the pushes are unlimited, because time is tight and you'll need to step lively if you want to see the other side of a minute.

Influences

• ToneMatrix

  André Michelle is a great guy and has inspired us in ways he cannot even begin to understand. His ToneMatrix was one of the major forces behind the music system we created for Fractal.

• Frenzic

  The Iconfactory really took out all the stops on Frenzic. The gameplay is amazing and just looks gorgeous. Frenzic is the perfect illustration of a small idea done amazingly well. It sets a new bar for production quality.

• Lumines

  There have been very few “new” puzzle games in a long time. However, Lumines has definitely crossed the river from a re-invented game all the way to a completely unique one. What really makes the game special to us is the great merger between gameplay and audio.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Preface

From the creators of the award-winning game Auditorium comes Fractal, a new ambient music puzzler experience. Cluster and Chain your way through a pulsing technicolor dreamscape that reacts to your every move, while manipulating Fractals, creating Blooms, and expanding your consciousness at 130 BPM.

At the surface, it is a mere puzzle game, but as you dig deeper, untold dimensions of expression unfold. Intuitive but complex, challenging but not harsh, Fractal is a truly engaging experience.

Chapter 1: Rules of Engagement

All you need to do is arrange 7 fractals of the same color together to form a larger hexagon. You create new fractals by pushing off the boundaries of existing ones. You CANNOT PUSH DIRECTLY ON FRACTALS; you'll need to plan ahead. When you put 7 fractals together properly, they will "Bloom." Blooms don't just have to be 7 fractals; there can be many sizes of blooms. When a Bloom happens, the outside fractals will explode away from the center. If one of those outside fractals happens to create another Bloom, it causes what we call a "Chain Reaction". Create Chain Reactions and larger blooms to score higher points!

Chapter 3: Technical Requirements
