Skyline

1-4 players work together to build a 3D city out of building blocks in this cooperative puzzle game.

You’ll need to work with your allies to orient each building block so that it is in the right place for your skyline, without upsetting theirs!

Skyline is a puzzle game with 36 puzzles of ascending difficulties, composed of specific sets of skyline cards. Try to complete each puzzle at all, and then try to beat each puzzle’s high score by having multiple blocks leftover.

Skyline was designed at Tiltfactor in 2014, but never released. In 2024, Resonym released 7 hand-crafted copies at the PAX Unplugged Indie Games Night Market. Now it’s available as a print and play.

Each player is assigned one side of the square board (north, south, east, or west), its associated color, and a specific skyline card showing where they need to place blocks of their color.

Work together with your teammates to make your side of the city match your card… but be careful: each block you place might mess up another player’s arrangement.

Question marks on your card can have no block in them, or any color block, so long as it’s not your color.

To help you win, remember one important rule: depth doesn’t matter. For example, the block in the bottom right corner counts for your skyline card, even though it’s set back one space.

Play through 36 hand-crafted puzzles. First, endeavor just to beat each puzzle. Then, try to beat each puzzle and earn a gold trophy by having a specific number of blocks leftover! You’ll have to employ some tricky strategies to make the best use of all of your blocks and earn the gold trophy.
