Gameplay
The player progresses through levels in Splice by rearranging groups of cells into target structures. The player has a limited number of moves (or "splices") to create each target structure; finishing a level in the fewest moves possible unlocks an "Angelic" achievement result. Over the game's seventy-seven levels, the player will encounter power-up cells with special abilities (for instance, cells that destroy themselves and their children). The player must learn to use these increasingly complex cells to form increasingly complex target structures.
Reception
Splice received generally positive reviews, gaining an aggregate review score on Metacritic of 86 for iOS and Android.
Splice won the award for "Best Puzzle Game" at Intel Level Up 2011.
