About Palamedes

Palamedes is a puzzle game where the player must prevent the screen from becoming filled with dice. A character at the bottom can be moved horizontally to aim, and the player can cycle through the number on the die they hold before launching it upward.

Successful play involves matching the launched die's number with a die already on screen, which removes the target and moves it to a collection row at the bottom. Clearing multiple screen lines at once is possible by arranging a set of three or more dice in this bottom row that share either identical or sequential numbers.

The game offers three distinct modes. One is a standard single-player progression where advancing requires clearing a specific quantity of lines. Another is a tournament structure featuring matches against computer opponents, and the third allows for two-player competition.
