Block and load, puzzle cult classic Cylinder: Puzzles Returned launches on Steam today

Classic Xbox Live Indie Game puzzler arrives on Steam and marks the launch with a stream from The Yogscast

North Carolina, United States, September 4th 2024 – Smash that high-score and stack those blocks high as the fast-paced puzzler Cylinder: Puzzles Returned launches on Steam today, developer Mighty Rabbit Studios is delighted to announce. To mark the launch, Cylinder is being streamed by content creator collective The Yogscast, who will test their block-busting mettle.

Cylinder: Puzzles Returned reimagines the Xbox Live Indie Game and iOS hidden gem Cylinder, and this innovative and eye-catching title offers puzzle action in multiple modes, including single-player and multiplayer. The extensive multiplayer mode includes split-screen, remote play, and online battling so you can take on your rivals no matter where they are, even if they only live a block away!

The best Cylinder players will make it onto the leaderboards to showcase their puzzling prowess. Plus, there’s a load of unlockables to chase down, including backdrops and tilesets.  Adding a packed puzzle editor means players can put what they’ve learned across the over 200 puzzle challenges available at launch into action and create their own levels. 

Co-founder of Mighty Rabbit, Nicholas Allen, says: “This is the 5th and by far the best iteration in the nearly 20 years since the original prototype. A ton of work has been poured into this deceptively simple game, and we believe it is at the top of the genre. With the original music and unique game mechanics, get ready to spend countless hours solving puzzles to learn the cylinder’s secrets, only to compete in even fiercer multiplayer competitions among friends. #LearnHistory on indiedb.”
