Play Klax (europe) Online

Klax came out for the Sega Master System, a version of the puzzle game that was also on other systems. It was published by Tengen, a company known for its arcade ports. On the SMS, it was one of the many straightforward puzzle games you could find, offering a different kind of challenge compared to the platformers that were common at the time.

You control a paddle at the bottom of the screen, catching colored tiles as they slide down a ramp. Your goal is to line up these tiles in rows, columns, or diagonals to clear them; you need to form sets of three or more of the same color. The main mechanics involve catching the tiles and then strategically dropping them into one of five wells, planning your moves to create combos and prevent the wells from overflowing. The game starts calmly but the speed increases steadily, demanding quicker decisions. It feels like a constant race to organize the chaos before the screen fills up.
