About the Game

Beyond the earth and among the stars... Magic has reached the cosmos.

Highlighters is the next entry in the action-puzzle genre and is inspired by the charming and stylish titles of the 90s like Tetris Attack and Puzzle Fighter.

Clear tiles by matching 4 or more like-colored pieces together, with at least one of them being a bomb (cross-shaped).

Highlighters is easy on beginners, but also has a lot to offer for the skilled players of competitive, completionist, and speedrunning tastes!

Compelling single-player modes!

  • Classic mode follows the traditional ‘marathon’ type game but with a focused emphasis on speed.​
  • Pull off big combos and chains to complete the game quicker, but watch out as the speed begins to creep up! An intense juggle of skill and difficulty!
  • Also, a charming Adventure mode showcasing the wonderfully weird cast of spellcasting astronauts and robot pirates!
  • Other 1P modes include a brainy Puzzle mode and much more!

Intense multiplayer VS modes!

  • Follows the same fiery spirit of competition as other VS puzzle games!
  • VS modes reward the aggressive and quick thinking!
  • Pull off big combos to have junk blocks come crashing down on your opponent’s board!
  • Thoughtful handicap options are available for the more novice!
(Currently local play only)
