## What is Dissembler?

Dissembler is a subtle puzzle game about unraveling playful, abstract artworks one color at a time.

Winner of the Excellence in Design award at Freeplay 2018.

“If you’re a puzzle fan, I can’t stress it enough — you need to play this game.” — AppUnwrapper

“Dissembler is one of those puzzle games that just feels good to play around with, but it backs that simple joy with a solid spate of puzzles and gameplay modes.” — Shaun Musgrave, Touch Arcade

About the game: 

Flip pairs of tiles to make matching color groups vanish, but that's where the resemblance to a standard match-three ends. In Dissembler no tiles will drop in to replace the ones you’ve matched: your task is to remove all tiles and leave behind a clean slate. The experience starts simply, leading you gently from basic principles to more complex puzzles, but before long it will require careful planning and lateral thinking.

Amazing lateral thinking exercise Game, Sophisticated,

### 5/5 — 絶対おもしろい

*2024-10-07*

デイリーパズルがあり日々更新されるため飽きない。
無限パズルはほんと無限だけど少しずつコマの難易度が上がる
Wi-Fiなくても遊べるし、結構ムキになってしまうし頭も使う

### 5/5 — まいった‼️

*2024-08-08*

こりゃ参りました‼️神ゲーここにあり👍

### 3/5 — I have some notes on the infinite mode

*2024-04-30, version 1.1.9*

I just finished this brilliant game, and i wanted more.
 Here were my experience started with the infinite mode.
 The whole idea of the mode is “ if a connection is possible, than do it” which make it brainless, and requires no skill whatsoever.
If the developers made a change to make this mode more strategic( the player should have more control over his future options, rather it randomly popping out), i swear the game would be perfect.
 When i recommended this game to my colleague, he also found the mode to be dull and needless.

### 5/5 — Super

*2024-02-09*

Man hört regelrecht die Rädchen im Gehirn sich drehen. Klasse Gehirntraining. Am Anfang leicht, dann aber immer schwerer

### 3/5 — 解き方が単調

### 5/5 — 最高

### 5/5 — (One of) The Best

*2023-01-24, version 1.1.9*

The best of the quiet puzzle games ….. logical in its increasing complexity, intuitive and surprising. Surprising depth without having to introduce new objects. Stands alongside Rainbow Train - and is actually deeper and harder than those excellent games. More please.

### 5/5 — Awesome game the audio seems dead though.

*2022-09-03, version 1.1.9*

Not sure, I tried disabling and re-enabling the audio to no avail.

### 5/5 — Dissambler

*2022-08-05, version 1.1.9*

Bellissimo
