    Pixld, the iOS puzzle game from Portal co-creator Kim Swift and Quantum Conundrum developer Airtight Games, is now available on the App Store. It's currently going for an introductory $0.99, but having introduced itself it'll return to a regular price of $1.99.The games gives players a grid of cyan and navy blocks, tasking them with making color-matching rectangles by flipping the blocks' colors. Sounds simple, except flipping a block's color also flips the color of every adjacent block. With time-based, moves-limited, and one-life modes, Pixld is a test of vision, reflexes, and strategy. Oh, and it has weird textspeak-like shorthand in its menus, but don't worry, it's nothing too egrgs.

    Airtight Games is following Dark Void and Quantum Conundrum with a puzzle game for smaller screens. PIXLD for iOS is a color-matching puzzle game that tasks players with flipping groups of blocks to create contiguous groups. The developer calls it "deeply engaging, deceptively simple" and plans to release it next week, at an introductory 99 cent price (regular price is $1.99).This is the first release from the new "Airtight Mobile" label, which – as the name suggests – will publish games for phones, specifically iOS.
