About the Game

💎 Forge Synergy. Shape Fate. Score Big.

Turn simple gem matches into massive score explosions.

Ruina is a roguelite puzzle game about discovering powerful synergies, stacking absurd multipliers, and building game-breaking scoring engines. Buy scrolls, relics, tools, and boons to create unique builds that transform every run into a new puzzle to solve and a new high score to chase.

⚙️ Build Absurd Synergies

Every run begins with a simple goal: match gems and score points.

How far you push that score is up to you.

• Match Gems: Build your score by matching colors and triggering powerful gem effects.

• Buy Scrolls & Tools: Collect scrolls, tools, relics, and charms that multiply one another in unexpected ways.

• Discover Broken Combos: Combine effects to create explosive score chains, massive multipliers, and game-changing strategies.

• Adapt Every Run: Randomized shop choices ensure no two runs play the same.

🎲 Endless Build Possibilities

Ruina rewards experimentation.

Whether you focus on a single color, stack powerful modifiers, build around rare scrolls, or attempt unexpected synergies, every run offers new ways to grow stronger.

  • 100 Scrolls to discover

  • 7 Unique Gem Bags

  • 10 Starting Boons

  • Powerful Tools, Relics, and Charms

  • Countless Build Combinations

✨ Arcana, Enhancements & Modifiers

Customize your gems and push your builds even further.

Enhance gems with powerful upgrades, discover Arcana-infused scrolls, and combine multiple layers of bonuses to unlock entirely new combinations and scoring opportunities.

Every new modifier creates another opportunity to build something ridiculous.

🏆 Push Your Build Beyond The Limit

As your build grows, so does your score.

Transform modest matches into million-point turns, chase new personal bests, and see just how far your synergies can scale.

🔓 Expand Your Arsenal

Unlock new scrolls, upgrade existing favorites, and expand the possibilities available in future runs.

  • Permanent Scroll Unlocks & Upgrades

  • Endless Mode Challenges

  • Long-Term Account Progression

  • Multiple Difficulty Tiers

  • Deep Build Crafting and Strategy
