INTRODUCTION

Matrix Brain Twister is a puzzle game, where you have to solve matrices by filling all blocks with the same color. If a block is clicked, the block itself and its horizontal and vertical neighbours will change their color instead of a rotation like the Rubic's Cube.
The matrix is solved, if all blocks are filled with the same color, except white.
This is a very simple game mechanic, but can lead to very difficult riddles.
True to the motto: Easy to learn, hard to master.

FEATURES

Several matrix formats like: 2D (Hourglass, Skull, Star, etc.), 3D (Octahedron, Pyramid, Sphere, etc.), 4D (Hypercube, Pentachoron, Octaplex, etc.)

Random levels can be generated for your own fun and you can change them in dimension, format, size and colors

EPILOG

May the puzzle fun be with you!

Preview Update #4

Ancient Egypt Background

Added with the new version an ancient egypt background. You can click on the pyramid to start the theme music.

For the moment it is a static background, but for the future you can visit different POI's and see more of the ancient world.

2D/3D/4D Matrix Format

In addition to that I added several new matrix formats for all dimensions.

2D Screw (fixed size of 7x7 blocks)

2D Gear (fixed size of 8x8 blocks)

2D Snowflake (fixed size of 10x10 blocks)

3D Cup

4D Hypercup

4D Levels

I've also created 30 new handcrafted levels for the 4D Hyperhourglass 3x3x3x3 Matrix.
Those levels are really difficult. Only recommend for advanced riddlers.

Custom Block Styles

Furthermore, you can now create your own block styles for the matrices.

You can just add one grayscale image and a normal map. The game will then choose the correct colors. Nevertheless, you can also provide foreach color a seperate texture and each with its own normal map for more complex block styles.

You can be creative, serious or funny as you want.
A proper manual is on the Steam Forum .

Themed Music

Moreover I added three music themes (Ancient, Arabic, Night Sky) to the music playlist. You can either activate them on the specific object (disco ball, pyramid) or at the audio settings.

As they are themed music, they are deactivated by default and will not be played as the normal background music. You can change it in the audio settings though.

Don't forget that you can also add your custom songs too.
The manual for it is already on the Steam Forum .

This content and as always a few bug fixes will be available with the next update.
