You are only flipping one or two hexes at the start, but you might be flipping dozens at the end. It’s dirt simple, and it leads to games where the quality of your moves get exponentially better. So, you’re looking for the colour that will flip the most hexes, or the one that’ll create a Mr Tickle arm all the way to the other side of the grid, so that your next move will be a doozy. Next, choose a colour, and every hex that’s the same colour AND connected to one of your flipped hexes is summarily flipped. You flip a hex in a corner and this is where you start. You are given a grid of hexes in up to seven different colours. Instead, Indigo 7 opts for something relatively new. Hats off, these could have been your boring, seen-it-all-before match-3 puzzles. In between the handsy, sleazy Scott Pilgrim comics is the puzzle game bits. The art and music is good, and while the songs don’t reach the heights of Sex Bob-Omb, they give Indigo 7 a playful, fun edge. As a suitor or monster pops up to claim Debbie, you square off and duel them in the puzzle. The story plays out as motion comics between the puzzle levels. It even culminates in a Battle of the Bands. The plot isn’t too dissimilar either: Nathan, the main character, has his heart set on a girl called Debbie, but various suitors, overly familiar friends and the grim reaper himself get in the way. The quiff of the main character may be that little bit longer, and the music might be a little poppier, but this is very much a love letter to that comic series. It’s the first thing that hits you when you boot Indigo 7: this has been made by a team who clearly love these reference points.Ĭheck out the screenshots or trailer, and the Scott Pilgrim connection is clear as day. Indigo 7: Quest For Love has a huge amount of love and affection for Bryan Lee O’Malley’s Scott Pilgrim comics, and also the simple puzzler, such as Tetris, Columns and Lumines.
The overriding love on display, though, is Ludus, a playful love.
