Klax is a puzzle game released in 1990 for the Nintendo NES. The main objective involves catching colored tiles that slide down a conveyor belt and arranging them into specific patterns to clear them from the screen. Players must strategically stack the tiles in rows, columns, or diagonals of matching colors to score points and prevent the screen from filling up.
The game features a steady pace that gradually increases in speed, requiring quick thinking and reflexes. A unique mechanic in Klax is the use of a paddle at the bottom of the screen, which players control to catch and stack the falling tiles. This adds a tactile element to the puzzle-solving process, distinguishing it from traditional tile-matching games.
One unusual idea is the conveyor belt mechanism that continuously delivers new tiles, creating a constant flow of pieces to manage. This, combined with the need to build matches under time pressure, makes Klax a distinctive and engaging puzzle challenge on the NES platform.
