Promethium Throttle.

Swap • Match • Conquer the Grid

A vivid 6×6 puzzle built around observation, timing and satisfying chain reactions. Exchange neighboring tiles, align three or more identical symbols and turn a simple move into a cascading combination.

Manifesto / Opening Spread

Observe. Decide. Watch everything move.

One ordinary swap can become a spectacular chain when the board falls into place.

Promethium Throttle centers every puzzle on a dynamic 6×6 field of colorful tiles. The player surveys the layout, spots a useful opportunity and exchanges two neighboring pieces.

When three or more identical tiles align horizontally or vertically, the group disappears and contributes toward the current objective.

Empty spaces collapse downward and new pieces enter from above. Those changes can immediately create another match, producing cascading chains and turning a modest decision into a much stronger result.

Levels introduce fresh tile types, evolving goals and increasingly clever layouts while keeping the underlying interaction easy to understand.
