Show HN: A pixel art puzzle game for mobile using PixiJS

[himmelattack]

The idea for this pixel art puzzle game came from playing Triominos, and wondering what would happen if you replaced numbers with colors. A few mutations later, and it became a mobile game where you click a piece to turn it in place, to recreate pixel art.

I built the basic idea in just over an hour on Twitch.

Dev-wise, I used a homebrew Typescript game engine I created, called Booyah (https://github.com/play-curious/booyah). The graphics are all rendered using the awesome library PixiJS.

What do you think?

Tapping would be much more satisfying if it didn’t take so long for a tile to get bigger and then start turning. Maybe it could smoothly get bigger and smaller and turn in one motion.

Neat animations and sound effects has a nice video game feel. Next feature should scramble the tiles and let you drag them back to place in addition to rotating, make it more challenging.

Oooh that is a good idea. I should try that

This is great, well done. I'd love to be able to disable the hints (maybe I missed the setting)

[himmelattack]

Ok good idea !

That's cute and relaxing! Love the animations when I finish a puzzle.

The puzzle pixel aesthetic reminds me of eBoy FixPix.

I didn’t know that game. That’s a cool concept!
