How it feels

A calming yet brain-tickling puzzle game where you methodically slide arrow-marked marbles into place against a backdrop of subtle music and clean visuals.

What players say

Players describe Runes as a minimalist sliding puzzle game with 120 levels and a 3-star rating system based on moves. They praise its soothing soundtrack but note the lack of in-game volume control and find it repetitive after the first 20 levels, though many consider it worth its low price.
