About Klax

Klax is an action puzzle game where players must form specific patterns using colored tiles. These patterns can be lines in any direction, including diagonals.

The gameplay involves catching falling tiles to arrange them. As the player advances, the challenge increases with more colors, faster tile speeds, and a greater number of tiles descending at once.
