Dear Players, If you told me a bit more than a year ago that some day I'll release a puzzle game, I'd doubt your words. What happened instead is that I now have 2 puzzle games on Steam, released in the same year! Ladies and gentlemen, meet Shatris! The reason I made Plastris is that I wanted to get used to a new game engine. I decided to transition from GameMaker to Unity and didn't want to make some engine-specific mistakes on a big and ambitious project, so I thought that the easiest game genre to release would be a puzzle. Nonetheless, I enjoyed developing it because I could work together with my girlfriend and design this game using just paper, pen and sometimes dried peas while I was at home, on a bed or even on a bus. The reason I made Shatris, however, was because I wanted to improve on the previous game. I felt like I didn't push it to its full potential and I wanted to make something that is similar, but better. I wholeheartedly believe that I managed to achieve that, but obviously it's not my opinion that matters. :) Thus, in case you're interested in puzzle games, I hope that you'll try it out yourselves and share your thoughts with me. Now I finally feel like I've learned enough to start something ambitious and I hope to meet you again in 2021. :) I have a few prototypes ready, but I still haven't decided what exactly the upcoming game of mine will look like. However, there's a 90% chance that it will be controller-based and 2 players will be able to play it on the same couch. Thank you for reading this announcement, I wish each single one of you to have fantastic winter holidays and only the best of luck in the upcoming year! Yours forever, Ivan Zlobin (Khud0)

- Plastris Linux [149.03 M]
It is a hyper casual experience, aimed at people who want to simply sit down and relax. You can skip any area you don't like and revert performed actions as many times as you wish. Complete puzzles at your own pace and engulf yourself in a calm world, filled with pleasant music. :)
There are a total of 195 puzzles in the game and you are free to determine their order. The difficulty of aforementioned levels ranges from "easy" to "slightly challenging", which makes Plastris a great introduction to puzzle games, even if you have never experienced this genre before.
Last but not least, Plastris itself is a mystery to be unraveled. Everything in the game is represented with the help of intuitively recognizable symbols, which can be easily understood by players of any age and nationality, but don't expect to see any text in it! :)
Come challenge your mind today!
