Three's Harmony: The Puzzle Game
Overview
Three's Harmony: The Puzzle Game (subtitle temporary) is an upcoming arcade action puzzle game for PC that's approachable for newcomers while still offering a challenge for puzzle veterans. The core design emphasizes board management and reacting to immediate goals rather than building long-term chains or elaborate setups.
Game Modes
Three modes are available: Endless, Time Attack, and Story.
Endless
- A classic endurance mode where you see how long you can last while leveling up.
Time Attack
- A ten-minute rush to complete as many orders as possible as quickly as you can.
Story
- Stage-based progression: complete a set number of orders to advance.
- Includes cutscenes that follow Starla's adjustment from reclusive life to a reluctantly social city life, with Jooniper and Belle helping her along the way.
Core Gameplay
- You control Starla as she works alongside the Three's Harmony team to fulfill specific drink orders.
- Build a tower of the correct ingredients on top of a cup, then finish with a lid.
- Keep the workspace tidy by matching tiles to clear them, which makes stacking and tracking orders easier.
- 30 levels total, with 3 selectable difficulty modes, providing a challenge for every skill level.
Sneebles Is Back!
- Sneebles The Half Cat appears in a supporting role this time around rather than a starring role.
- Use Sneebles' meteor pounce to flip the board bottom-up and change the playfield dynamic.
- Strategic use of Sneebles and hard drops help you complete orders and clear tiles more efficiently.
- Faster clear times yield higher point rewards.
Point Bonuses
- Completing orders quickly builds a streak that charges Starla's cracked gem.
- When the gem is fully charged, continuing the streak enchants subsequent orders, granting a growing point bonus as you level up.
- Breaking the streak will demote or reset it, requiring you to rebuild momentum.
Development Status
Three's Harmony: The Puzzle Game is currently in development. Some apects of the game, such as features and gameplay footage are subject to change. The core gameplay loop is considered complete, but is still being polished. Watch this space for updates.
