How it feels

A frantic, tile-matching dungeon run where you juggle quests and treasure while sliding rows and columns at a brisk pace.

What players say

Players praise the addictive match-3 combat but often mention heavy RNG, a grindy late game, and a few report save file corruption. Opinions split on whether it improves on its predecessor, 10000000.
