RPG game, turn-based combat, roguelite, humor, Match 3, 2D. There is no real plot, the protagonist follows a path where she meets bizarre characters, dialogues with them, and can decide whether to fight or go further. There are 8 routes that we can complete. The basis of the game is the Match 3 grid where we do not have a specific symbol for our character, depending on the symbols we match the effects change; For example, if we match coins we accumulate money, fire burns, green plants poison, stones cause damage, roses and jugs do nothing. You must pay attention because certain symbols do not work in the same way with enemies, some figures make reinforcements appear to opponents, for this reason every play it's different, it seems like an easy game, but that's not the case, we can find Bosses well supported by helpers who are difficult to beat. To help us we can find merchants who will sell us potions and symbols to add to the grid. IF you die, don't worry, don't go back to the menu, click on "Continue" and you will move on, without losing the money you have accumulated. Through skillful dialogue it is possible to ask some character we meet if he travels with us to help us. The…

The game itself is pretty ok. There are many possible upgrades and such that you can get. I just feels a bit too messy for me though. Its just too much. I kinda enjoy it a bit but its just too much. I really like the style though. If you are into a different Match 3 game this will be totally something for you. For me sadly not. I can still recommend it

A very cute and quirky but also obtuse game. In their adventure, the player chooses a character, combats using a match-3 system, and encounters many events and shops that they can use to modify their board and abilities. The huge variety of hand-painted visuals are beautiful and there's the beginnings of what could become a deep roguelite experience. However it has the flaws of often being too easy (at least for me, a seasoned roguelite enthusiast) and the game does not do a great job of explaining exactly what's going on and what all tiles do. It could also use a more diverse shop and I always felt like I had too much gold leading to no pressure to choose purchases selectively. These are actually minor issues that can easily be addressed during the rest of development, so I'm excited to see how it turns out and will certainly be coming back for it.

Lovely little cozy game about funny little guys. The artstyle and dialogue is all so cute and funny but in a totally unconventional way, i want to talk to more rats. The sound design is great too, satisfying crunchy sound effects and atmospheric background noise. The reverb in certain areas is really powerful and draws me in. Match 3 gameplay isn't my go-to but i quite like it. i appreciate the complexity that all the many different enemies bring to the combat. I think if i had anything negative to say about the gameplay it's that it feels a bit disconnected to the little characters you meet and the story of the campaigns. All the match 3 segments are about simply killing the enemy and not dying, but the enemies are random and have nothing to do with the story being told. The dialogue you can have with the funny characters is my favourite part of the game and it would be nice if the match 3 stuff had more to do with them. That's a small complaint though, overall the experience is very enjoyable and i highly recommend playing through it to try and find all the little characters you can talk to (there are a LOT of them).

This game is delightful! There's so many little guys to meet! The match-3 gameplay is very comfy and well-paced, and makes satisfying little noises. I love the way this game is written, it's really funny and surprising how the conversations with all the little guys go. GOTTA play it!
