ship an original arcade-puzzle game for Sega 32X with multiple modes and a 2-player surface
Meld is an original arcade puzzle game for the Sega 32X built around clearing same-color orb groups across a shifting board.
Six modes change how the board shifts, refills, pressures, or challenges the player, and each carries sixteen hand-authored campaign boards for ninety-six in total. A 2-player mode runs alongside the solo arcade ladder.
Meld began as an iOS build, moved to a single-board Sega 32X version in 2024, and the current build started fresh in 2025.
Targeted at retro console players, puzzle fans, and 32X enthusiasts. Tested on emulator and running on real Sega 32X hardware.
Release window: end of 2026.
Role: solo creator / design / implementation
Build notes
- beta: all six modes carry their sixteen hand-authored campaign boards, ninety-six boards total
- beta runs smoothly on real Sega 32X hardware
- 32X sound-effect content is in place and still being validated across hardware builds
- music is the largest remaining blocker: the build still mixes older tracks with newer material, and the final soundtrack selection, mapping, and replacement pass is not complete
- Blight and Black Hole still need deeper refinement, particularly Black Hole two-player balance and usability
