Our take on PlayZ
The game’s defining structure is its three-stage shift from cube matching to parkour and then to a harder retro-style level, with speed as the shared goal.
What is PlayZ?
PlayZ is a single-player arcade puzzle game with 3 levels, each using different mechanics.
The first level has a retro theme and asks players to match cubes with cube holders to open a large door. The second level is a parkour stage where players move through sections using parkour skills. The third level returns to a retro style with different gameplay mechanics and a higher difficulty than the other levels. The aim across the game is to finish as quickly as possible. Completing levels also earns achievements for the player’s account; the game includes 100 achievements.
