Fun little match game, with a good amount of flexibility in how you can build each run. Stickers let you add even more customization, and the gacha nature of it isn't too onerous-you get a smooth series of upgrades to it's rates early on. The character stories? 11/10 writing, amazing, no notes.

About the Game
MatchR is a Match-3 roguelike RPG that combines a battle system inspired by Puzzle Quest with the replayability of roguelikes like Slay the Spire.MATCH YOUR WAY UP
Battle your way through your colleagues to the big bosses of MatchR. You can win battles using several methods:- Charging your mana through matches then activating your skills,
- Making matches using your specialty orb - different for each character - which will deal damage to the enemy,
- Planning your plays around your character traits to gain as much power as possible.
EVER CHANGING RUNS
You will begin each run with a single character trait and loot or buy new ones along the way. They will help you in various ways such as: giving you boost in powers on match-4s, whenever you use your skills, strengthening your bombs... Find the ones that suit and enhance your playstyle!CHOOSE YOUR CHARACTER
With 6 playable characters and 3 starting character traits for each, you will find the one that suits you the most, and with costumes and backgrounds to unlock, they will even look different every run!STICKER COLLECTIONS
You will be able to spend your MatchR tokens on the capsule machine to gain stickers between runs to decorate your ID Badge and apply their effects, helping you in the subsequent runs. They range from common to unique, plain to shiny, and even two stickers of the same type can apply a different value or percentage on its effect. You can also find rare misprints reducing the size of the sticker, allowing you to put even more of them on your badge! MatchR rewards finding perfect stickers, so keep on trying!ADAPTATIVE DIFFICULTY
Is the game too easy now that your badge is full of stickers? Don’t worry, you can turn on new challenges which will make your run harder but also more rewarding, so try to put your skills to the test!Screenshots
User Reviews
- Poorly optimized. - Uses copyrighted music, not even credited (they list many royalty-free libraries so I'll assume they didn't do it on purpose). Sadly, this isn't the Puzzle Quest rogue-like we'd love to see. It has some good ideas though. Overall it feels like a frivolous project... Which is a shame. Personally I'd love to see it further developed and polished.
Fun, vivid palette! Art style is a little bit too much all over the place for my taste, but I really like how funny some of the characters look, and the general bubbly feel to it all. Fun resource gathering through match 3 as well :)
