Splice

About

Splice is a puzzle game developed by Cipher Prime Studios, released in 2012 for PC, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 4. Set within an abstract microbial environment, each level presents a "strand" — a cluster of cells arranged as a binary tree — that must be reorganized into a target configuration within a limited number of moves called splices. Players rearrange, mutate, and resequence cells, learning through experimentation how individual cells interact with one another. The game's over 75 puzzles are split between introductory sequences that establish core mechanics and more demanding epilogue stages. An additional layer of challenge comes from "angelic solutions," which reward completing levels in fewer splices than the allotted maximum. Cipher Prime's fourth title, Splice won Best Puzzle Game at the 2011 Intel Level Up contest. The experience is accompanied by a minimalist piano soundtrack and subdued visual design.

About This Game

Splice is an experimental and artistic puzzler. Immerse yourself in its microbial world and start splicing! Every level ("strand") consists of a number of cells that you will need to rearrange into a target structure in several moves ("splices"). Exploration and experimentation are key in determining how the curious little cells react to each other. Predict the sequence of splices you'll have to make in order to successfully arrange each strand. Re-sequence, mutate, and splice your way through this unique puzzle experience, and you'll exercise your ability to visualize sequential series of shapes over time. Solve your way to the final strands and you'll be left with a heady sense of mental accomplishment!

Splice is the fourth title out of Cipher Prime Studios, and was the Best Puzzle Game winner of the 2011 Intel Level Up contest.
