Prismfall is an 8×8 block puzzle wrapped in synthwave neon. Drag the three tray pieces to the grid, clear rows and columns, and chain combos before the board fills up. Simple rules. Deep play. No energy timers. No paywalls on gameplay. — WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT — • FIVE DIFFICULTY TIERS. Your run starts at Chill with a forgiving piece pool. Cross 500 points and you're in Flow. Hit 2000 and RUSH kicks in with a 25-second move timer. At 5000, Blitz cuts you to 15. At 10,000, Inferno gives you 9 seconds per move and the hardest pieces in the bag. • SKILL-ADAPTIVE. The game watches you. Consistently reach Blitz? Your next run skips the Chill warm-up. New players stay safe in Chill longer. No menus, no settings — it just learns. • 24-LEVEL ADVENTURE. Three chapters, eight levels each. Each completion reveals part of a procedural gradient plate — beat the chapter and the whole plate comes to life. Original art, zero licensed assets. • DAILY CHALLENGE. Every player on Earth gets the same opening tray and the same piece stream on a given day. Compete on Game Center. • MISSIONS + ACHIEVEMENTS. Three rotating daily quests for coins. Eight lifetime achievements that sync to your Apple ID Game Center profile. — WHAT'S UNDER THE HOOD — • Four neon palettes with heavy block glow and bloom • Screen shake, particle bursts, and combo banners tuned per clear size • Synthesized synthwave pad music (toggle in Settings) • Haptics mapped to placement weight + clear size • Full accessibility support — VoiceOver labels, Reduce Motion honored • Statistics dashboard with lifetime totals + top 5 scores • Daily streak counter with opt-in 9 PM streak-saver reminder • StoreKit 2. Game Center. iOS 17+. Built on SwiftUI. — NO TRACKING, NO ANALYTICS, NO ACCOUNT — Prismfall runs fully offline. No sign-up. No email collection. No third-party analytics. Game Center is optional. Your data stays on your device. Drag a piece. Clear a line. Feel the neon.
