Set out on dungeon runs as you work toward building a larger boat. You travel through different areas, face obstacles and enemies, and gather resources along the way.
During each run, your character moves automatically while you rearrange tiles on a 6-by-8 grid. Match keys to open chests, swords to attack, and other tiles to gain resources or defend yourself—all while keeping pace with the action.
Complete quests and use what you collect to upgrade weapons, defenses, spells, and other abilities for future attempts. Recruit monsters that provide buffs and add characters who offer more items and boosts as your boat and crew grow.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its unusual blend of match-three puzzles and action, with some returning for repeat runs and others appreciating its challenge, short-session appeal, or chiptune music. Some reviewers, however, find the tile outcomes too luck-dependent, the runs repetitive, or certain tiles hard to distinguish.
