Prism (video game)

In each of the game's thirteen levels, the player explores a microcosmic galaxy and must solve puzzles on a shape to reveal its core, doing so by tapping, sliding, and spinning the lines on a shape's surface into designated markings. Later levels task the player to change the shape's form. == Development and release ==

Prism was developed by Clint Siu during the first Stugan, a games accelerator program in 2015 where participants spent two months in a Swedish isolated cabin developing games. Siu had previously produced Squirrel Squabble in college with two programmers; at the Independent Games Festival, it won the Student Showcase award. The graphics of Prism were inspired by unfolding origami and were made realistic to portray looking through a microscope. Prism was released for iOS on February 11, 2016, and subsequently for Android on June 16, 2016. == Reception ==
