"I can honestly see why this was such a big hit on Playdate" -- Touch Arcade, Game of the Week. -- Generations is a challenging puzzle game that has you organizing family portraits on the wall of a living room, a task requiring a surprising amount of strategy, planning, and thinking ahead. Each time you hang three (or more) portraits of any family members of the same age group next to each other, their portraits will combine into a new portrait of an older family member. The current portrait is on the table to the left of the couch, and the next portrait rests on the middle of the couch. Bonus portraits will appear on the table to the right of the couch. The game begins with storks. Three storks combine into an infant. Three infants turn into a child, and so on until you combine three portraits of the matriarchs and patriarchs of the family. When this happens, you've created a Generation, and all portraits you've hung on the wall will automatically age up and the spaces occupied by the seniors will open back up, ready for a new generation of descendants. Portraits can only be hung next to other portraits, and you'll need to think ahead to optimize their placement in order to chain matches and not strand any. Once you've run out of space on the wall, the game will end. == Features == - The same game play. music and sound effects you love (if you're lucky enough to own a Playdate!), but now in vibrant color. - Online leader boards and a slew of achievements to earn. - Fun haptic feedback when matching and dropping portraits. - Play as either the Smiths or the Joneses. - Numbered Portraits accessibility mode. - A sticker pack for iMessage! Who among us hasn't wanted to drop a minus heart on a text message? - A cat named Poe!

Sounds good! TouchArcade Game of the Week: ‘Generations’ elcrazy Well-Known Member Sep 19, 2017 707 562 93 #3 elcrazy, Apr 8, 2023 Been playing it all week. Great little puzzle game. Harder than you think. But at times I feel like later in the game the pieces coming can make or break you. But I could be wrong. Maybe better placement. My best is 4 generations. Great little time waster for sure. Anotherkellydown likes this.

It’s very hard to put down. The matching of family portraits mechanic make this otherwise great puzzle game that much better. Took me 2 or 3 games until things started to click and now I’m making strategic decisions almost without thinking about it. In case you miss it like I did for a while, there’s a (very small) undo button in the bottom left. That was a game changer quite literally. Brightsiderus Well-Known Member Feb 1, 2017 2,234 540 113 #5 Brightsiderus, Apr 9, 2023 I managed to go through more than 10 generations. also there is a neat Easter egg. elcrazy Well-Known Member Sep 19, 2017 707 562 93 #6 elcrazy, Apr 9, 2023 wow 10 generations is amazing. How did you get the original graphics?!?! Was that from getting far? Or is there something I am missing? Very cool. Brightsiderus Well-Known Member Feb 1, 2017 2,234 540 113 #7 Brightsiderus, Apr 9, 2023 You need to press Playdate console if you can find it in the game vivafringe Well-Known Member May 10, 2014 85 16 8 #8 vivafringe, Apr 9, 2023 I don't recommend this for people who played Triple Town a lot. It shares a lot of DNA and if you are strong at that, most of the skills transfer over and you will find this too simple and easy. There isn't enough pressure from the game to kill you so high scores will mostly be an endurance test to not mess up. On my first run I have 9k points and am still in no danger of dying. I will probably get to 10k and suicide. elcrazy Well-Known Member Sep 19, 2017 707 562 93 #9 elcrazy, Apr 9, 2023 Thank You!! I love the og graphics. Never had a playdate. But fun to play in its original style. I also disagree with the above comment. I have triple town on my phone. I love it and it’s the ultimate game of this type of match 3. But there is room for both in my opinion. I am enjoying this as my new time waster. Will it have the longevity of triple town? Maybe not. But it’s still very fun. Wall Jump Games Well-Known Member Dec 13, 2020 169 88 28 Male #10 Wall Jump Games, Apr 10, 2023 That’s not Playdate graphics. It’s a nod to them but that’s grayscale, not monochrome. Shame you can’t actually unlock Playdate graphics, resolution and all.
