Play Klax Online
You catch colored tiles sliding down a ramp, flipping them into rows before they pile up—simple until the speed kicks in and you're frantically lining up diagonals. That Genesis soundtrack and chunky pixels make the chaos feel good.
Klax came out on the Sega Genesis in 1990, a puzzle game from Atari Games that felt right at home among the platform's other straightforward, high-score chasers. It was a time when you could just pick up a controller and get into something without a long story or a complex control scheme, and Klax fit that mood perfectly.
You control a small paddle at the bottom of the screen, catching colored tiles as they slide down a ramp toward you. The goal is to prevent a pile-up by grabbing these tiles and placing them into a grid, forming rows, columns, or diagonals of three or more matching colors to clear them. The real tension comes from the constantly increasing speed and the limited space in your holding area, forcing quick decisions about which tile to catch next and where to slot it. It feels like a race against a slow but inevitable collapse, and pulling off a last-second clear is deeply satisfying.
