Turnabout PS1

Turnabout is a puzzle game developed by the Artdink studio, which found its way to the PS1 platform. Initially, the title was also intended for the PlayStation 2, the Nintendo Gamecube and the Xbox, but the developers eventually withdrew from these plans.

Mechanics

The Turnabout game takes place on a two-dimensional board covered with a grid of fields (its maximum size is 16x16 squares). The task of the player is to solve a hundred puzzles which revolve around combining colored objects - balls that move on the board and blocks fixed to specific fields; when two elements of the same colour come into contact with each other, they disappear from the field. The initial puzzles are not very difficult, but the level of complexity increases as you make progress. With time you will have to move the ball between several blocks at the same time, or even move several different colored balls along the board; moreover, there are obstacles in the form of colorless blocks (moving or not) of different shapes.

Game modes

In addition to hundreds of predefined puzzles, on the PS1 platform Turnabout features an editor that allows you to create your own puzzles.

Technical issues

Thanks to its simplicity, the two-dimensional graphics design of Turnabout is characterized by high transparency.
