Gameplay
The games play as a falling tile puzzle game as strange square-like creatures known as Plexes fall down. You are able to rotate and move the Plexes as the goal is to match them via color, being able to do it vertically and horizontally. The main mode involves you and an opponent having to match combos of Plexes to cause more Plexes to drop to the opponent. Every character has a special ability that can be summoned when you fill the special ability bar, which can be filled by doing combos. The ability can either help you or hinder your opponent. Each match is also set inside of a stage, which most of them involves a unique gameplay mechanic. Another recurring mode is the endless mode where you have to match Plexes until the screen fills.
