Aloof

Aloof is a puzzle-fighter in which you summon and defend small islands while building combos against an opponent. You can play solo, against AI or with other players, in campaign, adventure and versus modes.

Summon and attack

You move pieces left, right, up and down; they do not descend automatically, so you can take time to plan or move quickly. You can flush pieces from your field by holding the flush button, and switch between two fields to handle another task without disrupting a combo. Your opponent does not send garbage pieces. The game also includes tactics for summoning islands, stopping an opponent from getting an island, attacking with combos and healing after an attack.

Campaign and adventure

The solo or co-op campaign includes puzzle levels, matches against AI, rescue missions and bosses. In online adventure, you aim to defeat three opponents in a row; a loss sends you back to the start. You can also practice adventure against AI opponents, online or offline.

Multiplayer modes

You can play with friends in 1v1 or 2v2 matches, offline or online. Online adventure supports 1v1 against random opponents and 2v2, with each pair sharing a couch or using Remote Play Together. Offline 2v2 adventure pits two players against AI, and co-op campaign is available offline or online. Players can move freely between game modes together.

Player versus Player

Player versus Player has 23 levels, divided into easy, medium and hard. You can choose a level yourself or let the computer select a random easy, medium or hard level, or any level. You can play while the game searches for an online match, and its online play is designed to support latency of up to 600 ms.
