You Must Build A Boat

As the spiritual successor to 10,000,000, You Must Build A Boat is a match three-style puzzle game with RPG mechanics slapped onto it. The goal of the game is, you guessed it, to build a boat to take you across the map that pops up between dungeons. Its strengths and improvements over the previous title are immediately noticed, but its flaws become more apparent as the game progresses. Lacking any real narrative,...

A definite improvement over the simple concept 10000000 gave us. Rather than set a goal over the whole experience, the game makes it a bit more about the journey.

My experience: - Over 6,5h - 33k tiles smashed - Finished the game Would I recommend it? Yes. Will I play it again?

Mixing not only match 3 but also light RPG elements. What drives you to continue...

It's really hard to explain the game better than it was made in the "about this game" store section. The trailer video is also helping. Run the line from left to right, match 3 tiles in a row, complete some quests on the way. Just like its predecessor, "10 000 000" game, "You must build a boat" is a really-simple-to-start-сasual-style project, that gets harder and harder with every level. And that is the main...
