“If you’re a puzzle fan, I can’t stress it enough — you need to play this game.” -

“Dissembler is one of those puzzle games that just feels good to play around with, but it backs that simple joy with a solid spate of puzzles and gameplay modes.” - Shaun Musgrave, Touch Arcade
“It's tough, it's smart, and its minimal art style leaves you with an uncluttered and engaging piece of pocket art.” - Harry Slater, Pocket Gamer
Flip pairs of tiles to make matching color groups vanish, but that is where the resemblance to a standard match-three ends. In Dissembler no tiles will drop in to replace the ones you’ve matched: your task is to remove all tiles and leave behind a clean slate. The experience starts simply, leading you gently from basic principles to more complex puzzles, but before long it will require careful planning and lateral thinking.
■ Beautifully-presented minimalist puzzle game with chilled original soundtrack
■ Every one of the 170+ puzzles is a hand-made work of art with no randomness
■ Experiment freely – undo any number of moves at any time without any penalty
■ Buy once and enjoy forever – no in-app purchases!
■ Free daily puzzles, plus step-by-step solutions revealed the next day
■ Infinite mode offers an endless play mode with online leaderboard
■ Color-blind mode makes Dissembler accessible to more players

User reviews
This game is amazing. It helps me deal with negative thoughts and anxiety. This app truly helps me. I can't explain how much it means to me. Thank you times a million
Very good logic game - makes you think hard to find the solutions
A surprisingly difficult and unique puzzle game. Watching the tiles match together is very satisfying.
Glad I found this a guy mentioned it a review for jumpgrid. I have it on iOS I don't have this game. Dissembler is a great game. I have no complaints. I came from my iphone to android bc I love the Pixel 4 XL. I bought this and will buy jumpgrid. I'll also buy a lot of this guy's games they are always top notch game...
it's annoying that when I open the game to check the daily puzzle, it goes straight to level 1 (after I finished the game) ,why wouldn't it start from the menu?
Very fun puzzle game with satisfying clicks. I thought the circle matching was hard to grasp but I'm just an idiot.
