Evaluation

Hokkaido Game launched on October 31, 2023 as a physics-based falling block puzzle game. The developer shipped a major content update on February 6, 2024 (Ver 2.0), which added an entirely new "Survivor Mode" — a roguelite variant of the core gameplay with unique evolution mechanics and a long-term goal of reviving all 47 Japanese prefectures. The price was also raised to reflect the added content. Two quick polish patches followed on February 8 and February 11, 2024 (Ver 2.1 and Ver 2.2), fixing bugs and adding small quality-of-life touches. There has been no developer communication since February 11, 2024, and no unreleased DLC or announced future content exists. With only one major content drop in the game's post-launch history and over 16 months of silence since that release, the game appears to have reached its completed state following the Ver 2.0 expansion.

About this game

Let's stack up the prefectures of Japan to create Hokkaido!

This is a physics-based falling block puzzle game.
You are a "big person" and drop prefectures into a box.
If the same prefectures are attached to each other, they will evolve into bigger prefectures!
The game is completed when you create the largest prefecture, Hokkaido, before the box overflows!

Survivor Mode

In ver. 2.0, we have added a completely new game called “Survivor Mode,” which is a combination of the that game and Rogue Lite.

In this mode, you select a prefecture for evolution.

The selected prefectures have different effects, such as a narrower field, different bouncing strength, spinning while falling, and UFOs appearing... it makes a different gameplay each time.

Revive the Japanese Islands!

Prefectures created in Survivor mode will be added to the map.

Create all prefectures and revive the Japanese Islands!
