About This Game

SHIKA-Q is an ultrafast competitive puzzle game where victory is decided in an instant by connecting Links on a 10×10 board.

The battlefield evolves in real time as attacks, disruption, recovery, and special moves unfold simultaneously.
There’s no time to hesitate—every moment demands your next move, creating relentless tension and speed.

Unlike traditional falling-block puzzle games, blocks in SHIKA-Q do not drop from above.
The moment you place a block, the board comes alive. Because matches play out in real time, success isn’t just about forming Links—it’s about reading your opponent and choosing the right action at the right moment, creating a mind game closer to a fighting game than a classic puzzle.

Every decision directly affects the outcome. Players must rely on both strategic thinking and fast reflexes.
Momentum can shift in seconds, and the state of the match is instantly readable, making SHIKA-Q not only thrilling to play but also exciting to watch—highly compatible with esports-style competition.

Music That Fights With You

SHIKA-Q’s most distinctive feature is its Music, fully synchronized with the match itself.

This is more than background music.
Vocal tracks dynamically intertwine with gameplay, directly amplifying tension and excitement as the battle unfolds.
Gameplay, music, and emotion sync together to create an immersive experience unlike anything else.
