The Developer Says...

Land Above Sea Below is an atmospheric building strategy and puzzle game where you have to build your island from tiles in order to raise its height as much as possible, to avoid it getting flooded by the constantly rising sea level.

Players Like...

❤ Tile Placement and Synergies

Players strategically place tiles to build up their island's elevation and earn points through synergistic tile combinations. Placing three or more matching tiles together raises the entire connected landmass by one level, incentivizing players to plan ahead and construct cohesive biomes like forests, towns, and rivers.

❤ Rising Tides and Flood Management

As the game progresses, the sea level steadily rises, forcing players to constantly manage the encroaching flood. Any tiles left below the waterline become permanently inaccessible, so players must carefully elevate key areas, such as the central "Tree of Fall," to keep them from being submerged.

❤ Procedural Tile Generation and Unlockable Content

The game features procedurally generated tiles, ensuring a unique layout and set of challenges in each playthrough. Players unlock additional tile types and biomes as they progress, encouraging experimentation with new combinations and strategies.

❤ Score-Based Progression and Bonus Cards

Earning points through efficient tile placement unlocks bonus cards that provide helpful effects, such as an extra turn or a temporary sea level decrease. This score-based progression system adds an element of strategic depth to the gameplay.

❤ Varied Game Modes

Three distinct game modes cater to different player preferences. The "Challenge" mode tasks players with surviving for a fixed number of seasons, the "Eternal Autumn" mode offers an open-ended sandbox experience, and the "Sandbox" mode allows for complete creative freedom in island building.
