Puzzling Greatly (Concept)

A unique blend of match-3 puzzler and narrative adventure, Puzzling Greatly dares to challenge both your wits and your reflexes!

The play space is a Lumines-style grid of square tiles. Players can touch a tile, and all eight tiles surrounding the one they touched move clockwise by one space. Each tile has a unique face on it, similar to the board game Guess Who?. Above the play space, the player is shown a written description of a suspect. The player's goal is to rotate the tiles such that three suspects who all match the given description are touching.

The core gameplay loop involves the player rotating tiles:

1. Player touches a tile
2. Tiles rotate
3. If a match is made, player scores, tiles disappear, and new random tiles appear
4. Repeat

A secondary gameplay loop involves the description changing:

1. Game generates a new suspect description
2. Timer counts down 30s
3. Repeat

Another secondary gameplay loop involves multiple levels, with different music and speeds of play:

1. Level begins
2. Player continues matching until a score threshold is reached
3. New level begins
4. Repeat
