Mondranoid is a game that plays a lot like the arcade classic block-breaking game Breakout, but with a twist. Rather than simply trying to break away blocks, what if we tried to replace them with something else? In Mondranoid's case, what if we replaced those blocks with little boxes filled with colors and patterns? What if we combined adjacent boxes with the same patterns into even larger patterns?
Basically, you wind up with something that looks a lot like a painting that could have been made by Dutch artist Piet Mondrian, or any one of his contemporaries in the De Stijl art movement. We initially thought about calling the game Stijlball, but it didn't quite have the ring we were looking for. So instead, we came up with Mondranoid, a combination of Mondrian and a Japanese refinement of Breakout called Arkanoid.
Mondranoid is a free-to-play game. There's no limitation to how much you can play or what you can do in the game. Instead, when you create something in the game that you really like, you have the option of turning that thing into a poster or wall-canvas that you can buy and (presumably) put in a nice corner of the house where it gets a lot of attention. We'll never pressure you into doing this though. It's up to you whether you think that's a good idea.
Mondranoid is simultaneously about having fun, being creative, and making something. Each creation you make is unique, depending on the way you play the game as well as how you customize colors and patterns to suite your taste. It's easy to learn and quick to finish. It isn't demanding when it comes to your attention. It's a game designed to be played as much (or as little) as you want before you do something else with your day.
We hope you enjoy playing it as much as we enjoyed creating it.
