About This Game

Aloof is a puzzle fighter like Puyo Puyo Tetris, but plays completely different. In the world of Aloof you summon and defend small islands all the while you build combos against your opponent.

Steam is pretty limit when it comes to explaining multiplayer modes.
So, here is (a hopefully better explained) list of multiplayer modes:

• co-op campaign (offline or via RPT*)
• friends versus friends (offline or via RPT*)
• 1v1 online adventure (online against random people)
• 2v2 online adventure (this is online, but couch vs couch, so you and your friend are on the same couch or play via RPT*)

*RPT = Remote Play Together

COMING SOON: play online versus a friend!
I regret not adding this more early, but I aim to correct that mistake 🙂
(also know that I am making this game by myself in my spare time)

Basic gameplay is shown below. Aloof has more tactics – which we will save for later.

Summon an island

Stop you opponent from getting an island

Attack with combos

Heal after an attack

It’s dangerous to go alone

• Full solo or co-op campaign with puzzle levels, matches versus AI, rescue missions and bosses! (offline)
• Beat the online adventure by defeating 3 opponents in a row, but lose and start all over (online 1v1 or 2v2).
• Or practice the online adventure against AI opponents, get familiar with the levels and tune your tactics (offline 1v1 or 2v2).
• Play against your friends in 1v1 or 2v2 matches (offline).

Your plan at your pace

• Move pieces left, right, down and up! Pieces don’t descend by themselves. Take your time to think, and move fast when you can!
• Not happy with the pieces in your field? Just flush them away by holding the flush button.
• You can switch between 2 fields. So you don’t need to mess up your amazing combo if something else needs to be done first.
• (and there’s no garbage from your opponent)

Keeping online alive

• Play the game while searching for an online match.
• Find opponents all over the world. The game is designed for a high ping (600ms)
