How it feels

A casual puzzle-battle game where you quickly build and defend tiny islands while matching pieces to chain combos against an opponent.

What players say

Players call it a unique puzzle fighter where blocks do not fall on their own, giving more control. The campaign is short, around a few hours. The music splits opinion, some find it pleasant and atmospheric, one calls it the worst they have heard.
