About this game

DiceDrop is a rare game, re-discovered by the author in his personal archives and now available for the world to play! (Thanks for submitting it!) The game is a well-done implementation of a Columns / Puyo Puyo type game. (The author mentions being inspired by playing Xixit.) Groups of three dice fall, and your goal is to arrange them so that three or more of the same number line up in a row, which will clear those dice from the screen.DiceDrop is a DOS-based puzzle game released in the early 1990s. It combines elements of dice and puzzle-solving mechanics, offering a unique and engaging gameplay experience. The game revolves around dropping dice onto a grid and solving various challenges that require strategy and careful planning. Dice Mechanics: The main mechanic revolves around dice with different face values. The player must place or drop the dice into various grid positions or slots, often aiming to align numbers, match patterns, or complete certain objectives. The dice mechanics are central to the puzzle-solving aspect of the game. The game may involve stacking dice, aligning them in rows or columns, or using dice rolls to meet specific criteria. Grid-based Puzzle Solving: The game takes place on a grid where dice must be placed strategically. The objective typically involves matching dice with specific numbers or achieving a certain arrangement on the grid. The grid may have special rules, such as certain squares requiring specific dice values or dice needing to match in rows, columns, or other formations. Strategy and Planning: Players must plan their moves carefully, as placing dice in the wrong position can make it harder to solve the puzzle or complete a level. The game involves a lot of strategic thinking—deciding where to place the dice, when to drop them, and how to optimize each move. Increasing Difficulty: As players progress through the levels, the difficulty of the puzzles increases. New grid patterns may emerge, additional rules may be introduced, and the player might face new constraints, such as a limited number of dice to use or time limits. Time or Move-Based Challenges: Some versions of the game may impose a time limit or a move limit, requiring players to solve the puzzle quickly or within a specific number of moves. This adds an element of urgency and tests the player’s ability to think and act quickly.
