Evaluation

Petal Crash launched on October 12, 2020 and received meaningful post-launch content additions: a major v1.1 update on May 21, 2021 (adding new characters, game modes, and puzzles), an Android port on February 28, 2021, and the launch of a dedicated online multiplayer client (Petal Crash Online) on October 12, 2021. The online client continued receiving updates through December 2022 and into 2024. On September 8, 2024, the developer posted the final update note for Petal Crash Online (v1.1.1), explicitly stating: "With this update, we feel that Petal Crash Online is now in a complete state. While we'll no longer be actively developing on the game, we'll continue to run the servers indefinitely." This is a clear developer declaration that the game's development cycle is finished. The developer's focus has shifted entirely to Petal Crash 2, which was announced on October 13, 2023 and began crowdfunding in February 2024. The mention of Petal Crash 2 in the September 2024 post (referencing plans to open-source the online code "after Petal Crash 2 gets online play") further reinforces that the original game is considered complete. No additional content for the original Petal Crash has been announced or implied since the September 2024 finalization post.

About this game

Easy to learn and rewarding to master, Petal Crash is a brand new puzzle game in the tradition of the arcade action puzzlers of the mid-90s. Like the games that inspired it, Petal Crash features a variety of single player challenges in addition to an intense head-to-head versus mode. The rules are simple - push a block any direction, and it'll keep going until it hits a wall or another block. If it hits a block of the same color, the blocks will burst, sending any other blocks next to them flying! Line them up just right to create huge chain reactions, racking up points and burying your opponents in garbage!

Enter the land of Florea, a loosely-connected smattering of city-states where people of many different fantasy races coexist with one another. Though the land is divided, it's said that it was once a united and prosperous country, where the people enjoyed a lasting peace presided over by the seven Sacred Blossoms, relics of great power assembled in the Royal Garden. How Florea came to be divided is lost to history, and the legend of the scattered Sacred Blossoms has turned to myth: whoever finds all seven and returns them to the Royal Garden will receive their heart's true desire.

Eons later, the Sacred Blossoms have each fallen into the hands of a different individual: The fairy scholar Lilibri, the fiendkin delinquent Strelitz, human tailor twins Penny & Deony, the dwarven treasure hunter Ore Kid, the beastkin freelancer Daize, the legendary centaur dancer Yosoti, and the errant elven knight Rosalia. Each of them has their own wish, and their own story to tell.

Challenge the Story Mode to take your chosen character through their tale, challenging all the others in fierce puzzle battles to assemble all seven Sacred Blossoms! Shoot for high scores in Solo Play, racing the clock or rationing limited moves to get the highest rank you can! Solve puzzling brain-teasers with limited moves in the Puzzle Mode, and make your own puzzles to share with friends! Challenge another player or fight the CPU in Versus Mode, racing to make clears and bury your opponent!
