A meditative puzzle adventure where you link and dissolve glowing elemental forces to navigate a softly lit, interconnected world.

What players say

Players praise Glowkeeper for clever match-3 puzzles woven into a nonlinear world with no filler. The game avoids typical genre weaknesses by exploring its mechanics thoroughly and offering a hint system plus slow-mo for timing sections. Some note the aesthetic is merely functional, and a few timing puzzles are divisive.
