❤ Game Premise and Progression

The game casts you as the player character, tasking you with running through procedurally generated dungeons, battling enemies, and collecting resources to upgrade your boat and abilities. Your ultimate goal is to literally build a boat, which serves as a metaphor for your personal growth and progression throughout the adventure.

❤ Match-3 Gameplay

At the core of the gameplay is a fast-paced match-3 puzzle mechanic. You slide rows and columns of tiles on a 6x8 grid, making matches of at least 3 identical symbols. These symbols represent various actions and resources, such as swords for physical attacks, staves for magic attacks, shields for defense, and keys to unlock chests. Successfully making matches allows you to perform these actions and collect the corresponding resources.

❤ Dungeon Exploration

As you progress through the dungeons, you'll encounter a variety of enemies, traps, and challenges. Certain tiles on the grid, such as crates, can provide temporary power-ups and items to help you overcome these obstacles. The dungeons also feature modifiers that add additional difficulty, like reduced visibility or stronger enemies, keeping the gameplay fresh and challenging.

❤ Progression and Upgrades

One of the core appeals is the sense of progression and upgrading your abilities. Successful dungeon runs grant resources like gold, which you can use to purchase permanent upgrades for your weapons, spells, and defenses. You can also recruit various monsters and NPCs to join your boat, each providing unique bonuses and abilities.

❤ Replayability and New Game Plus

To encourage replayability, the game offers a New Game Plus mode. After completing the game once, you can start a new run with increased difficulty and higher rewards, allowing you to further optimize your upgrades and boat. This, combined with the procedurally generated dungeons, ensures that each playthrough feels fresh and engaging.
