Runefall

Runefall is a match-3 puzzler set in a forgotten arcane observatory. Six kinds of rune gem tumble down a carved violet altar, and every swap you make is a little spell — line up three and they shatter in a spray of light, chain a cascade and the whole chamber shakes.

Line up four and you forge an arrow rune that scythes through an entire row. Bend five into an L and you get a starburst that blows a hole in the board. Line five straight and a rainbow prism forms — swap it with any gem to sweep that colour clean off the altar. Slam two forged runes together and the results get gleefully out of hand.

Fifteen hand-built altars ask for different things: raise a score, harvest a colour, or crack every sheet of frost crusting the stones. Each one gives you a strict number of swaps and up to three runestars, and the altar quietly reshuffles itself whenever you truly run out of moves.

Bring a plan, spend your swaps well, and see how many runestars you can carry out of the dark.
