Placards is the newest game from GetClose developer Wombat Source. We last heard about the project in January 2015, but it’s now nearing release.

It was clear before that Placards was going to be a puzzle title of some sorts. However, Wombat Source has now shared the following overview:

“Placards is a unique single-player puzzle experience that requires players to think both visually and strategically. Rearrange pixels on the screen by rotating or swapping to solve Placard puzzles. That Placard too big to solve in one go? Solve a piece at a time to get closer to that final Placard picture.

Wombat Source isn’t done providing updates for GetClose. The developer confirmed today that a new mode is in the works that will offer single-player support.

Sometime in the future, players will be able to download a patch to obtain survival mode. You’ll be tasked with surviving the longest against waves of enemies on new and old maps. Up to four players can participate in survival mode, though there will be the option to play alone as well.
