Gameplay

🦖 Solve match-4 puzzles while collecting as many treasures as you can
🥚 Build out your hatchery and grow eggs for extra treasure
🏛  Fill the museum with bones for unique buffs
💀 Appease the gods and dodge other hazards to stay alive

Games can vary from 30 minutes up to 2 hours!


How to play:

The goal is to try and make as many connections in the puzzle as you can. When you make a connection you will get the resources you connected, as well as any treasures laying next to it. After finishing a puzzle you will fall into the hub. Here you can spend your resources on building nests for your eggs or purchasing upgrades/items in the shop.

The shop mostly sells healing food, but every so often there will be a special item for sale. If you gather enough treasures you'll be able to buy these items, they are vital for making it far in the underground! One of these items: the museum key, will let you into the museum, where you can play a special 'bone puzzle' that helps you fill up the various museum pieces!

The game holds many secret mechanics and gameplay tricks that can help you get further! Finding them all will help you master the puzzles and the underground!
