/// ABOUT PRISMS /// Prisms is a free 3D spatial puzzle game. You play the role of a newly hired intern of Dr. Cubit’s. Dr. Cubit is an underfunded, genius, zany scientist on the leading edge of cube-based research. As his intern, you can earn his satisfaction by assisting with scientific research in the form of rolling around cubes, attaching different shapes to your cube, then orienting your cube correctly to match up with shaped gates. During your internship, you will encounter 3 different shapes. The circle and square can be placed in any direction, while the triangle must be oriented correctly. You may also encounter teleporters and flooring that’s only temporarily visible, requiring additional spatial reasoning. There are 20 exciting experiments available for free and 5 crazy bonus experiments available by performing tests to Dr. Cubit’s standards. If you choose to fund Dr. Cubit’s research for $4.99, you can run 20 more challenging experiments and 5 more bonus experiments (not for the weak-minded)! /// PRISMS FACTS /// - Learn about Dr. Cubit and his friendly robot PRISMO over 20 challenging spatial puzzle levels. - Unlock the hidden challenges of 5 bonus levels by solving the puzzles more optimally. - Master the prism and learn to manipulate all 3 shapes. - No ads, no timers, no recurring microtransactions, no selling your data.

Have at thee! For millennia, House Ruby and the Azur Clan have disputed the checkered realms of Zugzwang. Neither side intends to concede. Both would appreciate your assistance. Maginet is a compact, chess-like tactics game about small bands of mages and the trouble they can cause. Move a mage, then they strike spells on their attack targets. Learn each attack pattern, guard your mana, and find the move that leaves your rival with nowhere comfortable to stand. A CAMPAIGN OF CURIOUS BATTLEFIELDS Follow a branching map through changing terrain and carefully arranged encounters. Discover side paths, collect victory stars, and meet new combinations of mages and magical powerups. SMALL BOARDS. MUCH TO CONSIDER. Every mage moves alike, but each kind casts differently. Powerups alter movement, attacks, and defenses. A promising position can become a dreadful mistake in a single turn. Take your time. Your opponent certainly has. MORE WAYS TO DUEL Challenge the AI, share a device for a local battle, or face another player online. Build your own encounters in the level editor. Campaign, AI battles, and local play work offline. BEGIN YOUR CAMPAIGN FOR FREE The tutorial, Basics I–IV, local battles, AI opponents, and level editor are free. A single Full Game purchase permanently unlocks the rest of the campaign and all online modes. Go forth, great maginettes. Do try to make your House proud.
