How to play

Aloof is a puzzle battler, like Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo and Puyo Puyo Tetris, but plays completely different. In the world of Aloof you summon and defend small islands all the while you build combos against your opponent.

In Aloof the pieces don't descend by themselves and you can even move up! Not happy with the pieces in your field? You can flush them away by holding the flush button. The game isn't about zoning out. It's about responding to your opponent, taking your time to think and move fast when you can!

How to summon an Island
