About This Game

MindMatch combines match-3 puzzles and roguelike deckbuilding to make a strategic tower climber where every decision matters.

You are a creative mind lost in your own imagination. Match Ideas to charge Esquisses, build combos, unlock heroes with unique abilities, and climb to the top of the tower.

Dynamic Match-3 Combat

This isn't your typical match-3 game. Forget matching tiles for direct damage!

In MindMatch, you match Ideas to charge your Esquisses (sketch) abilities that work like cards. Each Esquisse has different effects and can be upgraded after every fight. The grid is your deck, and matches are your resources.

How you use them matters. Spam quick activations for rapid attacks. Charge them fully for devastating effects. Plan your order carefully or waste your turn.

Dark Ideas

Your creative mind is consumed by chaos. Dark Ideas pollute your grid, blocking matches and sabotaging combos. Clear them fast or fall into madness, or embrace the chaos for powerful but risky strategies.

You can spawn powerful Ideas to ease your matching:

• Bombs clear surrounding tiles

• Horizontal and vertical slashes wipe entire rows

• Color bombs eliminate all tiles of one type

Enemies That Fight Back

Monsters have unique abilities & passives designed to counter your strategy:

• Reflect damage back at you

• Dodge your attacks entirely

• Lock grid tiles so you can't match them

• Regenerate health

• Explode on death

• Absord your energy

• ...

Every enemy needs a different approach. There's no single winning strategy.

Events and Consequences

Not every floor is combat. Event rooms force you to make tough choices:

• Trade gold for powerful relics

• Sacrifice health for permanent blessings

• Increase your Dark Ideas for immediate power

• Face surprise encounters

• Gamble on unknown rewards

Some choices have consequences you won't see until later. Choose carefully.

Features

• Match-3 Resource System: Match Ideas to fuel Esquisses, not deal damage directly.

Build Around Synergies

Every floor offers choices. Treasure rooms contain relics. Blessing chambers grant permanent bonuses. Merchants sell uogrades. Events force gambles. Elite enemies guard the best rewards. Bosses test everything you've learned.

After every battle, improve your Esquisses. Focus on poison. Build around multi-hit combos. Build massive armor damage or try Overheal.

The Relic Grid

Relics come in different shapes. You have to fit them into your grid like Tetris pieces. Smart placement unlocks powerful synergies and bad placement wastes valuable space.

That game-changing relic might not fit.

Strategic Depth With Puzzle Speed

MindMatch isn't about matching three tiles and watching numbers go up. It's about resource management, combo planning, and adapting to chaos.

Runs are quick. Strategy runs deep. Every climb teaches you something new.

Reach the summit. Master the madness.
