16-bit, JRPG-inspired adventure featuring an epic story, charming characters, stunning pixel art, and a unique puzzle-battle system, set in the mysterious Ocean’s End islands full of ancient ruins, pirates, treasures, and frogs.
## About This Game
In the sleepy backwaters of Ocean’s End, a young adventurer and her stalwart
pet Sprig stumble on an ancient power hidden beneath long-forgotten ruins.
With it, Mirai can harness the power to repair, build, and… fight.
A grand story will unfold: Mirai will use these new powers to help build her
home of New Riverstone, face growing threats like the Scarlet Tusk Pirates,
hunt for treasure across mountains, forests, temples, and ruins, and forge new
friendships with people (and animals) across the world. Perhaps, the secrets
of her past will finally be revealed as well…
## Unique Battle System!
Battle monsters in a truly unique puzzle-based arena! Using the power of
falling blocks, you can attack, defend, and trigger magic effects to thwart
everything from lowly Beewis and Cookie Ferrets to Craggans and Giant
Axolotls.
Flowstone Saga has real-time combat where you (and eventually, your party!)
face off against up to 3 monsters at once. While monsters and your allies take
turns attacking and using special abilities, the main character – Mirai –
controls the flow of battle on the puzzle board.
By clearing lines, you’ll deal damage to a monster with a regular attack.
Clear multiple lines at once for much more powerful blows. But this is just
the beginning!
You’ll use Flow Crystals and Orbs that appear on the board to create combos,
deal damage, heal, and defend yourself from deadly monsters, who can ruin your
board (and your HP) with attacks like poison, fire breath, paralysis,
sandstorms, and much more.
You’ll also unlock Powers that allow you to infuse blocks with elemental magic
like Fire, Ice, and Lightning, attack monsters directly, repair your board,
and enhance combos. Combined with a passive Perk tree and even a Job System,
tons of unique strategies are possible. This is unlike any RPG or puzzle game
you’ve played!
With this system, you’ll have to use your wits & tactics to create the best
strategy for each encounter… and the battle scenario can change at any
moment!
## Town of New Riverstone
Befriend charming characters, helping them to build and expand the town of New
Riverstone, learning their stories, and even buddying up for extra battle
effects.
## Exploration and Puzzle Solving
Explore the islands of Ocean’s End, search for treasure, gather resources,
solve ancient puzzles, and unravel mysteries across dozens of handcrafted maps
and dungeons.
Throughout the world, you’ll encounter mysterious structures that only Mirai
can restore using her unique powers. These range from essential objects needed
to progress through the game, like ladders or bridges, to optional structures
that yield rewards such as gold & experience, to hidden areas requiring
specific powers (with special bonuses to match!)
## Deadly Enemies
Mirai and her friends have plenty of abilities and items, but monsters have
their own powers! From swapping blocks to sapping life, removing tiles,
tossing boulders, blinding effects, and paralysis, no two encounters are
alike!
