About the Game

Swap gems continuously, build combos, and use relics to push your score higher.

Puzzlogue is a roguelike match-3 puzzle game where you can continuously swap gems during a single move.

Plan your route within the time limit, create multiple matches, and combine combos with powerful relic effects to reach the target score.

A Match-3 Puzzle with Continuous Gem Swapping

Unlike traditional match-3 games, where you swap only two adjacent gems, Puzzlogue lets you move a selected gem continuously across the board during a single turn.

Plan your route carefully and create several matches before time runs out. The more combos you make, the higher your multiplier becomes, allowing you to earn even more points.

Combine Relics and Create Your Build

Relics provide a wide variety of effects. Some strengthen specific gem colors, some reward large combos, and others activate when gems are matched in particular shapes.

Study the properties of each relic, combine their effects, and build a strategy of your own.

Special Effects Change the Rules of the Puzzle

Some relics alter gem appearance rates, add special effects to gems, or even change the conditions required to create a match.

Focus on a single color, build around long combo chains, or aim for specific match shapes. The relics you choose will determine which strategies are most effective.

Shops and Stage Selection

As you progress, you can obtain new relics and consumable items from shops and stage rewards.

Choose your next stage from several options, each with different effects and rewards. Compare what your current build needs with the risks and rewards of each stage before deciding which path to take.

Clear the Stages with a Different Build Each Run

The relics, items, and stages available to you change with every run.

Combine the effects you find along the way and create a build capable of reaching the target score. Failure sends you back to the beginning, but each new run gives you another chance to discover different combinations and strategies.
