Stickets is a 2013 tile-matching game developed and published by the Australian indie studio Wanderlands and released on May 30, 2013, for iOS. The game had won the Freeplay Independent Games Festival for Best Australian Game.
Gameplay
In Stickets, the player inserts L-shaped three-piece tetrominos in four different orientations on a 5×5 board. Each piece has one yellow, blue, and red block. Grouping three or more of the same colored blocks together makes them disappear, freeing up space. A game over is triggered when the player runs out of space. The game has three separate themes.
