PhysTris is a physics-based puzzle/action innovative game, where your aim is to score as many points as possible, playing at game modes like Lines Out, Color lines and so on. The falling pieces are physically simulated, giving you completely new degree of experience in this genre.
You click, then the blocks fall, and if there is a combination, it disappears. All above it falls down, physically. This way you can create combos and chains, scoring more points than the normal.
There are several play modes, all with different rules:
- In Mission mode your aim is to complete each mission in three mission packs: easy, medium and hard.
- In Lines Out mode, your aim is to make full lines horizontally. They will then disappear and all above them will fall down.
- In Color Lines mode, you must make same-colored horizontal or vertical lines, that will disappear.
- In Color Areas mode you should place figures in same color next to each other to make as big as possible color zones each from same color that will disappear.
The fundamental of physics-based gameplay, will, however, do some nasty things. Figures will never be perfectly-aligned. You should find a way to bump and hit them with other figures. And if there are nasty placed figures, don't panic. The detection algorithms are tolerant and will allow non-perfect combinations. If you drop a figure from more highly, the figure will gain more strength and will hit other figures so they will bounce.
There are also items that will make the game more easy or more hard. There are several types of different items that do very different things.
