## Description

SUPER DUPER EARLY ALPHA
This game is in it's very early stages. Things will be broken, please use the "feedback" button to report them!

Rotaliate

Rotaliate is a simplistic competitive puzzle game with 2 main game modes. Single player where you race the clock to clear the board as fast as possible or in the least amount of moves. In multiplayer you are assigned color(s) and must be the first to clear your color from the board.

You make matches by rotating blocks until they form a 2x2 block of the same color.

You can even play on the outside of sbox! https://rotaliate.io
Matches work between the browser and sbox automatically. You don't even need to be in the same sbox lobby as your friends to play against them.
