Evaluation

Anode launched on October 5, 2015 as a complete falling-block puzzle game. The only post-launch developer activity consists of two posts from October 2015: an announcement on October 17 teasing localization support, and a follow-up patch on October 24 delivering those new languages along with minor leaderboard improvements. That patch represents the last recorded developer communication — there have been no updates, announcements, or developer posts of any kind since October 24, 2015. No DLC was ever announced or listed. The game shipped as a finished product, and the small flurry of post-launch activity in its first three weeks was simply launch support work. With over a decade of silence since that final patch, and no outstanding commitments of any kind, the game is complete.

About this game

Colored blocks fall, and they keep falling. You rotate them, and drop them. Faster and faster you align the pieces, creating links of matching color, filling in gaps. You touch a block with a detonator and the entire chain explodes. The blocks above them drop, another detonator touches, and another chain is gone. Then another.

Anode reintroduces the classic falling-block puzzle genre, with new twists and challenges! Link blocks back and forth across each other. Match angled couplers to create chains of multiple colors. Earn items and use them to clear your bin. Play Mission Mode and complete randomly-generated objectives for additional challenge. Post your scores on leaderboards and see how you stack up.

Invite a friend over, plug in some controllers, and dive into frantic competition. Complete long chains to send blocks to your opponent's side, or use offensive items to trip them up. Don't have a controller? Play two players with one keyboard! All to a pulsing soundtrack with music that gets more intense as your bin fills!
