About the Game

Mondrian - Plastic Reality takes you on a journey through the Canvas, a mind-bending, blockbreaking dimension where your creativity controls everything. When Piet Mondrian awakens in a run-down art museum, he finds he's able to use an artwork smuggled out of the Canvas to travel back through time and find his other lost works. Join him and his friends on their journey through art history, as you spin your paddle around dynamically painted fields of blocks in a unique twist on classic arcade gameplay. Build your Museum, compete for global leaderboard glory, and create your own levels using the Mondrian Maker level editor. The Canvas is waiting.

A New Twist on Arcade Classics

Mondrian features orbital block-breaking gameplay combined with dynamically generated elements to create a wholly unique, modern arcade experience. Bounce your ball into the field to pop all the blocks and collect the gems that come flying out. Grow the Stretch Paddle, heal the Breakerball, or slow the Speed Ball by grabbing gems. Grab three gems in a row to earn bonuses, trigger powerups that randomly spawn in the field, avoid obstacles, play as five different artists in seven game modes, and keep the ball from escaping or it's game over.

Dynamic Creations

While all levels are hand-crafted, you'll never play the exact same version of them twice. Every level has up to four variations where block obstacles and modifiers change depending on your chosen difficulty. Backgrounds and music randomize, powerups randomize and move around, and blocks get painted with dynamic color harmonies that get reflect across Razer Chroma™ RGB devices.

Unleash your Creativity

Two included editors, Mondrian Maker and Mondrian Studio, let you bring out your creative side. Build new levels quickly in Mondrian Maker by click-and-dropping blocks in seven different shapes onto the field. Open your level in Mondrian Studio to create thumbnail images or other graphics for print and web. Share your levels to Steam Workshop or mod.io in just a couple clicks. Open the included PDF manual to learn both editors in-depth.

An Accessible Experience

Award-winning accessibility options make Mondrian a game for everyone. Control game speed, controller UI, night mode, difficulty, and more to play the game the way you want to play it. Manage your level library in Mondrian Maker to only play the creations you want to. Every little detail of Mondrian - Plastic Reality is yours to control.

Unlimited Gameplay

Enjoy multiple game modes to cater to every kind of play, from Endless with no punishment for losing, Gem Hunt to risk your score, Arcade and Time Attack with high score placement, and Sudden Death to see how long you can survive with no safety net. Dive into Adventure Mode to learn the game and build an Art Museum with your collected gems. The game includes one hundred levels and there's more to discover on Steam Workshop and mod.io.

Light & Color

Experience Mondrian - Plastic Reality in all its glory with Razer™ Chroma RGB technology! When a scene dynamically generates a color harmony, those colors are reflected onto your keyboard, mouse, headphones, or any first and third-party device in the Chroma RGB ecosystem. This includes all color harmonies that come with the game, and a dedicated "Neoplastic" harmony for menus and Mondrian Maker.

Requires the Chroma app to be installed. The Chroma integration can be turned off at any time from the Main Menu.
