Passage 5 is the new entry in a series that has accompanied many of our players for over twenty years. The principle has always been the same — and that's exactly the point: place your tiles so that either color or symbol matches the adjacent ones. Complete rows and columns — the passages — disappear from the board. Sounds simple. It is. And that's what makes it so good: a puzzle you understand in thirty seconds and that won't let go of you three hours later. Plan ahead and you'll clear several passages at once — play by feel and you'll have to get creative. With the fifth installment, we've rebuilt the game from the ground up: calmer, cleaner, no frills. Playable with mouse, keyboard, or gamepad. Four Game Modes - Clear — Free up marked fields. Over 300 handcrafted levels. - Continue — Keep placing endlessly, as long as the board allows. - Classic — Classic high-score chasing. - Construct (new) — The counterpart to Clear: instead of clearing fields, you have to fill specific fields with tiles. Feels different again from the three classics. For the First Time Two Players - Coop — Two players on one screen, two separate cursors, shared score. Look at the board together, plan together, win together. - Duell — Split board, each player gets their own half. Who clears first? Across several levels, best-of, or as Last Man Playing. - Devices are assigned FIFA-style: whoever confirms on their input device is in. Keyboard, mouse, multiple gamepads — all in parallel. More Depth for the Veterans - Four difficulty levels — new addition: Master, for anyone who finds Hard too easy - Optional move timer on the higher levels — skip it if you don't want the pressure - Streak system: how many tiles can you place in a row without a mistake? - Special tiles: bomb, row and column bomb, joker, and blocker - Symbol numbers on every tile as a visual aid — no magnifying glass needed High Scores, Saves, and Events - Steam achievements and Steam leaderboards — new to the series - Online leaderboards in addition to local high scores - Events — time-limited challenges with their own leaderboard - Multiple save slots with individual player names, switchable any time - Separate high-score tabs per mode and difficulty Features at a Glance - Four game modes: Clear, Continue, Classic, Construct - Coop and Duell for two players - Four difficulty levels including Master - Over 300 levels in Clear mode - Steam achievements and leaderboards - Multiple save slots with individual player names - Special tiles, streak system, optional move timer - Full control via mouse, keyboard, or gamepad - Spoken tutorial — no long reading required - Atmospheric sound effects and background music - Custom tile designs loadable
