Which game is this

Which Game Is This is a 2024 puzzle and trivia video game developed by independent studio PixelPuzzle Games. The game presents players with a series of abstract, minimalist visual representations of well-known video games. Each level displays a single, simplified image composed of basic geometric shapes, color blocks, or iconic silhouettes. The player’s objective is to identify the specific video game being depicted. The game draws from a broad library of titles spanning multiple decades, hardware platforms, and genres, including classic arcade games, console exclusives, and modern indie hits. The visual clues range from direct representations of a game’s protagonist or logo to more oblique references, such as a specific level layout, a famous item, or a distinctive color palette. The game does not provide text hints or multiple-choice options; the player must type the correct game title. A scoring system awards points based on speed and accuracy, with bonus points for identifying games without using any available skip or hint functions. The game includes over 500 unique puzzles, organized into themed packs that are unlocked progressively. The interface is clean and monochromatic, focusing attention solely on the puzzle image and a text input field.

Gameplay and controls are centered on a single-screen interface. The player is presented with a central image area displaying the abstract puzzle. Below the image is a text input box. The player must type the full, official title of the video game being represented. The game accepts titles in English, and capitalization is not required. After typing the title, the player presses the Enter key or clicks a submit button to confirm the answer. A correct answer triggers a brief animation revealing the original game’s cover art or a screenshot, and the player advances to the next puzzle. An incorrect answer displays a red indicator; the player may retry as many times as desired without penalty, though the score multiplier decreases with each failed attempt. The player can use a hint button, which reveals a single word from the game’s title, at the cost of a reduced score. A skip button allows the player to bypass a puzzle entirely, forfeiting any points for that level. Navigation between puzzles is automatic upon correct submission. The game can be played with a keyboard and mouse on PC, or with touch controls on mobile devices. There is no time limit per puzzle, but a cumulative timer tracks total playtime for leaderboard purposes. The game saves progress automatically after each completed puzzle.
