About the Game

Match. Chain. HYPER.

Jova is a bright cascade puzzle about clearing a box of cheerful little creatures called Jovials. Drop falling pairs, line up three or more of a color in a row or column to clear them, and watch the stack above tumble into cascading chains for bonus points.

Slow Time. Purge a Color.

Every clear feeds the HYPER meter. Top it off and cash it in for a window of slowdown plus a one-shot color purge. Perfect for setting up an ULTRA COMBO.

Play Solo

  • Endless: Survive escalating waves as rising garbage shoves the stack up from the bottom. Chase your best score.
  • Challenge: A 50-level ladder across five tiers, introducing shields, volatile targets, and color drought, with a three-star rating on every level.

Two Boards, One Couch

Trade garbage attacks in local best-of-three head-to-head: human vs. human, human vs. CPU, or sit back and watch two CPUs fight while you pick up strategy tips. Ten distinct AI personalities to read and overcome, from the Aggressive Attacker to an Adaptive Strategist that tracks the board and your every move.

Everything Else in the Box

  • 39 achievements, a full soundtrack with an in-game jukebox, and count-up score cards.
  • Full controller support and a controller-only versus lobby, great on the couch.
  • Accessibility built in: Charm Mode (colour-blind symbol badges), Reduce Motion, and fully remappable controls.

Drop a pair, clear a chain, and wonder where the night went!
