Run Dungeons, Find Crew, Capture Monsters, Build A Boat

" * * * * * - A truly superb mash-up of match-three and endless runner that’s unique on mobile and thoroughly addictive. Buy it" - Stuff Magazine " * * * * * - Makes the original game feel like a demo. It's absurdly fun and nearly impossible to put down." - Touch Arcade " * * * * ½ Gold Award - Building a boat will indeed become the most important task in your life." - Game Informer " * * * * ½ - We will gladly build a boat again and again." - Gamezebo BUILD A BOAT Travel the world in your boat, from the top of the Mage Tower to the bottom of Hell GATHER YOUR CREW Recruit a crew to live on your boat and offer their services FRANTIC MATCHING Match as fast as you can to keep on running CAPTURE MONSTERS Turn Monsters to your cause to get bonuses and have them aid your in battle CAST SPELLS Use magic to aid your quests, and don’t forget to visit your onboard Arcanery to upgrade them RANDOM DUNGEONS With procedural dungeons and random Dungeon Modifiers, It’s never the same experience twice BUILD YOUR BOARD Upgrade your tiles, Quaff Potions and Pray for Modifiers to whatever fits your play style best SPEEDRUN How fast can you build your boat? You must spring out of bed. You must bargain with the lizardman. You must heed your undead navigators. You must slide rows or columns of tiles on a 6x8 grid. You must match at least 3. You must run to the right. You must focus intently on 2 areas of the screen simultaneously. You must match keys to unlock chests and swords to attack. You must literally collect your thoughts and trade them for dragons. You must not dally. You must not be too hasty. You must voluntarily ramp up the difficulty by taking on multiple quests at once. You must incrementally reach your goals. You must try again. You must try again x5. You must win every time, even when you don’t. You must remain optimistic. You must upgrade your magic staff. You must occasionally stop playing to allow for your hand to uncramp. You must take credit for random chain combos you made no effort to arrange. You must trust a blue bean man to make dangerous investments with your money. You must forget about the blue bean man. You must mind the asp. You must reconcile that despite the game’s title, you begin your journey in possession of what is, in no uncertain terms, already a boat. You must go all-in on the retro aesthetic. You must trade junk for gold with the voidorb. You must pray for salt. You must consume fish and tomatoes for time. You must venture through hell. You must disarm traps like your life depends on it. You must make an offering at the chapel. You must rally the Fantasy Union and the Undead Buddies to your cause. You must weigh anchor and methodically yet joyously hop in sync with your entire crew. You must feign interest in critiquing the gardener’s work. You must look up at the clock and wonder how it’s so late already. YOU MUST BUILD A BOAT!
