Fractal: Make Blooms Not War is a puzzle video game by Cipher Prime.[2] The game involves pushing hexagonal fragments together to form large hexagons and chain reactions.[3]
Fractal's gameplay revolves around pushing hexagons into seven-hexagon clusters, or "blooms", which earn the player points.[4]Fractal features three gameplay modes, campaign, arcade, and puzzle.[5] In campaign mode, the player progresses by earning enough points to clear each level. Over the course of the thirty-level campaign, the player encounters different kinds of power-up hexagons with special abilities (hexagons that cause explosions, or that destroy all adjacent hexagons) that help the player earn points. In arcade mode, the player works toward setting a high score by surviving for as long as possible. In the fifty-level puzzle mode, the player is tasked with completing objectives in a limited number of moves.[6] Each series of challenges in puzzle mode (Koch, Menger, Sierpinski, Julia, Mandelbrot, and Dragon) is named after a different fractal set.[7]
Receptionedit
The game has a Metacritic score of 84% based on 4 critic reviews.[8]
