About the Game

  

Panic in Puzzle World is an action-platformer. The dragon, Tide, jumps, slashes, bounces and blasts to save the 4 Puzzle Masters from their captors, so that Puzzle World can be saved from the robot invasion!

  • Ten densely packed levels of bumping, jumping and fire-blasting, each with novel mechanics to enjoy!

  • Rad boss fights! Fearsome robots stand in your way, with tons of attacks to tango with!

  • Made a mistake? Rewind at any time, if you'd like! (this difficulty feature can be toggled on/off)

  • Fun hats, color-palettes, challenge levels and more to unlock! Gotta use those gems for something, right?

  • A fun story delivered through in-game cutscenes (which are effortlessly skippable)!

  • Replay any level and aim for S-Ranks and fastest times!

Kaboom! A fierce battle erupts at the foot of Shrine Mountain, and Tide's home is destroyed in the crossfire! He heads to the source of the commotion, encountering mysterious, hostile robots along the way!

                                    

Tide soon meets a rabbit, Violet, who explains that the ancient Puzzle Seal has been broken, allowing the robots to invade Puzzle World. With her help, Tide sets out on an adventure to rescue the four Puzzle Masters from their robot captors. If the Puzzle Seal can be repaired, there may just be a chance to stop this Panic... in Puzzle World!
