Puzzle Panic Island

Puzzle Panic Island is a fast-paced, skill-based match-3 puzzle platformer. You control a character who avoids hazards carried by falling puzzle blocks, survives the blocks landing overhead and matches them. Quick reflexes, strategy and a cool head help you manage the growing pressure.

Puzzle platforming

The game combines elements inspired by several SNES classics, including Tetris Attack/Panel de Pon, Wario's Woods, Super Mario, MegaMan and Puyo Puyo/Mean Bean Machine. You control block placement by moving your character, while a puzzle reticle, combos and chains support quick decisions as pressure builds. Puzzle pieces also provide access to most of your abilities.

You can jump on enemies' heads to defeat them, throw objects and grow stronger by collecting power-ups and weapons. The blocks carry hazards, mostly dinosaurs. Cute graphics, amusing sound effects and an original soundtrack by composer Joshua Lee Arrieta accompany the action.
