How it feels

A thoughtful tactical puzzle game where you carefully maneuver across a grid to power up abilities and unravel a story of corruption and survival on a dying colony.

What players say

Players praise the clever blend of match-3 puzzle and turn-based tactical combat, calling it a fresh take on the genre. They are split on the story: some find it predictable or poorly written with silly dialogue, while others enjoy the characters and pacing. A common frustration is a reliance on luck and kiting enemies, which can make victories feel undeserved and losses tedious.
