## About This Game
## Ekstase
Ekstase is a love letter to Berlin and its techno scene. Amazing techno beats
and beautiful visuals set the stage for a game that honors the long forgotten
falling block puzzle genre. Fresh but familiar gameplay ensures that Ekstase
is easy to pick up and sink many hours into. With both classic and new game
modes, there is something here for both the casual and the hardcore puzzle
game player.
## Gameplay description
In Ekstase, shapes of 3-5 blocks fall from the top, and as soon as they hit
something, they fall apart. The scan line changes color every cycle and
removes the squares you formed with blocks of the same color.
## Game modes
Reach a “state-of-flow” in Flow mode
Flow mode is the frictionless “jump in” game mode in which the game adapts to
how you play. Are you getting better? The game will ramp up its difficulty.
Are you getting worse? The game becomes easier. In doing so, the game teases
out a “state-of-flow” in the player, a state in which you are fully immersed
in a feeling of energized focus, involvement, and enjoyment.
Keep a beat with Beat99
Beat99 is the rhythm mode in Ekstase . The goal is to rank up your multiplier
by dropping shapes to the beat. You’ll be given 99 “lives”, dropping a shape
subtracts one life, missing a beat subtracts ten! Try to survive as long as
possible and try to score as high as you possibly can.
Pick your own challenge in Classic mode
In Classic mode you set the challenge. Choose the amount of colors and the
speed of the shapes.
Time Attack
Can you stack efficiently? Prove it in Time Attack mode. Beat the highscore in
a set amount of time.
Two rotation modes
Ekstase can be enjoyed in two different play styles; play style “A” and play
style “B”. In A you rotate the colors in a stationary shape, in B you rotate
the shapes. This way you get two games for the price of one!
## Accessibility
Are you colorblind? No worries, I’ve got you covered! In the options menu,
pick your type of color blindness for the appropriate color palette, or hand
pick the colors yourself. Motor challenges? No biggie! Ekstase comes with
custom button mapping and co-pilot. Do you find the background animations too
distracting?! Not a problem! Turn it down, or all the way off, from the
options menu.
