About

PRISM

Features
Read full description

PRISM is a roguelite made of glass and light. You are the spark, the last focused beam. Every shot is a piece of you: recoil is your movement. Drag, release, glide through the chambers of the shattered prism. SLIDE. SHOOT. SHATTER. One finger is enough. Dragging aims, releasing fires, recoil carries you. Read the flow and you dance between the creatures. Perfect shots at the right moment open windows in which the glass breaks more slowly. 15 REFRACTIONS, 15 WARDENS Every floor ends with a warden, each embodying a law of light: reflection, refraction, focus, filtering, interference. Their patterns can be read, every attack announces itself. Deeper in the glass they harden: a glass skin after every phase change, a front shield you have to glide around. CUTS, RELICS, GLAZES After every level-up you pick one of three cuts. Relics of the wardens change the run, glazes colour your shot. Every glaze is unique with its own haze, to collect, fuse and display. MODES FLOW: the run through the prism. FOCUS: the endless wave arena with leaderboards. BACKLIGHT: one against one, versus the bot or friends on the same Wi-Fi. CHRONICLE AND FORMS Inclusions are your achievements, the chronicle collects creatures and relics, forms change your look and your play. Game Center keeps best times and achievements. PRISM is free. No ads, no purchases, no tracking, no account. Made by one person, with original art, original sound and a music engine that breathes with your flow.
