How it feels

A cute but tense turn-based RPG where every move matters as you match tiles to cast spells and fend off invading monsters.

What players say

Players praise the blend of match-3 with turn-based roguelike strategy, the character movement on the board and elemental weaknesses add depth. Opinions split on difficulty, some find it a tough but satisfying brain teaser, others call it unbalanced. The cute art and cat puns are universally liked, but the UI, tutorial clarity, and audio show early access roughness.
