Match Tiles. Build A Boat.

" * * * * * - A truly superb mash-up of match-three and endless runner that’s unique on mobile and thoroughly addictive. Buy it" - Stuff Magazine " * * * * * - Makes the original game feel like a demo. It's absurdly fun and nearly impossible to put down." - Touch Arcade " * * * * ½ Gold Award - Building a boat will indeed become the most important task in your life." - Game Informer " * * * * ½ - We will gladly build a boat again and again." - Gamezebo You must build a boat. You must spring out of bed. You must bargain with the lizardman. You must heed your undead navigators. You must slide rows or columns of tiles on a 6x8 grid. You must match at least 3. You must run to the right. You must focus intently on 2 areas of the screen simultaneously. You must match keys to unlock chests and swords to attack. You must literally collect your thoughts and trade them for dragons. You must not dally. You must not be too hasty. You must voluntarily ramp up the difficulty by taking on multiple quests at once. You must incrementally reach your goals. You must build a boat. You must try again. You must try again x5. You must win every time, even when you don’t. You must remain optimistic. You must upgrade your magic staff. You must occasionally stop playing to allow for your hand to uncramp. You must take credit for random chain combos you made no effort to arrange. You must trust a blue bean man to make dangerous investments with your money. You must forget about the blue bean man. You must mind the asp. You must reconcile that despite the game’s title, you begin your journey in possession of what is, in no uncertain terms, already a boat. You must build a boat. You must go all-in on the retro aesthetic. You must trade junk for gold with the voidorb. You must pray for salt. You must consume fish and tomatoes for time. You must venture through hell. You must disarm traps like your life depends on it. You must make an offering at the chapel. You must rally the Fantasy Union and the Undead Buddies to your cause. You must weigh anchor and methodically yet joyously hop in sync with your entire crew. You must feign interest in critiquing the gardener’s work. You must look up at the clock and wonder how it’s so late already. You must build a boat. You must build a boat! YOU MUST BUILD A BOAT!!!}

Deine Spiele sind Einzigartig!!! Lieber Entwickler , kein anderes „Match3“ Spiel kommt auch nur ansatzweise an diese beiden Juwelen ran. Selbst nach mehrfachem durchspielen machen sie immer Spaß. Die simple aber so charmante Grafik sowie der coole Retrosound machen einfach Spaß! Wie wär es denn mit einem Nachfolger ?? Egal was es kostet , ich will es ;)

I’ve had this game for a few years and it’s such a fun tile matching game that I always come back to. It’s great to pick up and then put back down any time

퍼즐게임 마니아로서 왠만한 퍼즐은 다 고였다고 생각했는데 겁나 힘듭니다. 적마다 데미지가 제대로 들어가는 타일이 따로 있어서 데미지 넣기도 힘들고 레벨업을 하는 자원도 많이 들어가서 노가다가 필요합니다. 실력과 순발력보단 노가다와 운빨이 더 필요하네요. 3-4탄부턴 그냥 노가다입니다. 퍼즐 자체는 재미있는데 그외 요소를 잘못 설정한 것 같네요.

YMBAB is a great game! It’s got challenge, interesting characters, fun interactions, loot, and much more. I just wish it had more content and more explanation to an extent. For example, are the monsters I can recruit at the Beastiary randomized each run? I’ve completed the game many times, and wasn’t able to complete all the combos. Other than that, it’s a great game with lots more potential, even years after its release.

Quality is what it is but for an all around game it’s fun, annoying sometimes but fun.

You gotta be quick tho. No relaxing in this game. Just enough challenge and great mechanics. Well done!

It’s good enough to play for like 5-10 minutes at a time, then I just get bored. I wish they changed the puzzle mechanics, the sliding mechanism is kind of weird tbh. Just playing it because I don’t wanna feel like I wasted my money. This is $3.99 CAD. Don’t feel like it’s worth it. Should be $0.99 at the very most.
