Connect the dots
Photon is our first puzzle game. The concept is simple: connect three or more of the same coloured discs to destroy them, but the fun is all in the detail.
- Swipe your finger to connect discs.
- Tilt to roll discs into better positions.
- Some discs have special properties, such as spawning or destroying other discs.
What's the gameplay like?
Photon is one of those puzzle games that combine reflexes with planning.
Discs fall at increasing speeds, and you need to find combinations that can be destroyed. Special discs can either help of hinder you, get you out of a tight spot or put you into one. As you level up, the discs come faster, helpful discs become less frequent, and the range of discs increases making it harder to get a combo.
It's simple but deep, and rewards a combination of quick thinking and careful planning.
We tested Photon at the SupaNova pop culture expo and had people who would play for 45 minutes straight, so we think it's a pretty addictive game.

Any pro tips?
- Tap the spawn disc button to increase the challenge.
- The colour indicator on the side tells you what colour is coming. You can tilt to direct a falling disc into a good position.
- You can "undo" a path by backtracking.
- Double-tap to destroy a disc and open a new line of sight, but remember that your double-taps only restore at the rate of one per level.
