How to play
Drag a cube to a neighboring cell, or choose a move with arrow keys, WASD, or a gamepad D-pad and confirm with Enter / A. Make lines of three or more matching cubes: they disappear, give points, and damage the enemy. A line of four creates a skill cube. A line of five or more matching cubes activates a skill instantly. Watch the enemy timer and the player's health: when health reaches zero, the run ends and your best result remains saved as your personal best.
