❤ Addictive Match-3 Mechanics
The core gameplay revolves around a classic match-3 puzzle system. Players must strategically make matches of 3 or more like-colored orbs to gain mana and activate each character's unique abilities. The match-3 gameplay draws inspiration from the "Puzzle Quest" series, blending the match-3 mechanics with RPG-like progression and replayability.
❤ Unique Battle System
One key innovation is the way it handles battles. Rather than a traditional match-3 setup where players compete against a static enemy board, the game features a shared board where both the player and their opponent make matches and activate skills against each other in real-time. This creates a dynamic, back-and-forth battle system, forcing players to carefully consider each move to deny their opponent opportunities.
❤ Diverse Character Abilities
Players can choose from 6 unique playable characters, each with their own special "orb type" that grants additional effects when making matches of that color. Additionally, each character has a set of unlockable skills that players can charge up and use to deal devastating damage to opponents. This character-based skill system adds an extra layer of strategy to the match-3 gameplay.
❤ Roguelike Progression and Replayability
The game incorporates roguelike elements to provide a high degree of replayability. Each run has players climbing through a procedurally-generated tower, fighting increasingly difficult enemy "managers" along the way. During runs, players can unlock and upgrade new character traits that dramatically change how they approach the match-3 gameplay, encouraging experimentation and multiple playthroughs.
❤ Sticker Collection Meta-game
Between runs, players can spend in-game currency on a "capsule machine" to collect a wide variety of stickers. These stickers provide passive bonuses that can be equipped to the player's ID badge, further customizing their capabilities. The sticker collection aspect adds an addictive meta-game layer, as players hope to uncover rare and powerful sticker combinations.
