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. ■ Beautifully-presented minimalist puzzle game with chilled original soundtrack ■ Every one of the 171 puzzles is a hand-made work of art with no randomness ■ Experiment freely – undo any number of moves at any time without any penalty ■ Buy once and enjoy forever – no in-app purchases! ■ Free daily puzzles, plus step-by-step solutions revealed the next day ■ Infinite mode offers an endless play mode with Game Center leaderboard ■ Color-blind mode makes Dissembler accessible to more players
