Slate is a puzzle game developed by Zach Gage and released in 2014. The game's objective is to create a grid of colored squares by sliding rows and columns of squares to match adjacent squares of the same color. When three or more squares of the same color are aligned, they merge into a single square of a darker shade. The game ends when there are no more moves available.

Slate is a simple game to learn, but it can be challenging to master. The game requires players to think strategically and to plan their moves carefully. Players must also be able to visualize the board and to predict the consequences of their moves.

Slate has been praised for its simple yet addictive gameplay. The game has also been praised for its beautiful graphics and its relaxing soundtrack. Slate has been downloaded over 1 million times and has been featured in several publications, including The New York Times and The Guardian.

Gameplay

Slate is played on a 5x5 grid of colored squares. The player can slide rows and columns of squares to match adjacent squares of the same color. When three or more squares of the same color are aligned, they merge into a single square of a darker shade. The player's goal is to create a grid of squares of the same color.

The game ends when there are no more moves available. The player's score is based on the number of squares they have merged and the number of moves they have made.

Strategy

There are several strategies that can help players improve their score in Slate. One strategy is to focus on merging squares of the same color. This will help the player to create larger squares and to increase their score. Another strategy is to plan ahead and to think about the consequences of each move.

* Try to merge squares of the same color as often as possible.
