How it plays
How does Klax play?
The playfield is viewed from the side, with colored tiles moving toward the player on a conveyor. Move the paddle horizontally to catch tiles, then place them on the five-column board above it.
Create lines of three or more matching colors horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Waves require specific numbers or types of klaxes, and dropped tiles fill the board; losing five tiles ends the game. Later waves increase speed and impose more demanding objectives.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Klax?
Watch the conveyor several tiles ahead and position the paddle before a tile reaches the edge. Avoid catching a color unless you already have a useful placement in mind.
Build opportunities for multiple lines, but do not fill the board so quickly that you lose room to correct mistakes. Prioritize the current wave objective, and use diagonal lines when the board layout makes horizontal or vertical matches awkward.
Before you begin
What should you know before playing?
- 1
Keep the paddle near the expected landing point rather than chasing each tile at the last moment.
- 2
Leave empty spaces on the board so later tiles can be rearranged into useful lines.
- 3
Plan around the wave requirement before committing a difficult tile.
