Lands Of Dunmatch

EPILEPSY WARNING: FLASHING SCREEN!

A game where you need to crawl through the levels of puzzles, collect gems, rescue prisoners, defeat ants and, of course, punch the doors out! Game mainly uses mechanics of match-two games, but not entirely.

Controls:

• WASD and arrows - move the board
• Return and ESC  - navigate through menus
• R - to restart level
• Mouse and LMB - to interact with board, cards and menus

Gameplay tips:

First of all, start with the first level (number 1). You may play any level you like, but the difficulty of them grows with the level number.

Rules are: 

• Some cards need to be paired with another cards for results. To beat an ant, you need to connect Sword card with Ant card (or vise versa). If you want to open the door, find Key and pair it with Door.
• Some cards instantly shows what they do: Treasure card reveals its contents, Prisoner goes home, etc. Beware of Traps and Bombs! They hurt.
• Discover other interactions.

There are some conditions on which you may win or lose level. Commonly, to win you need: save certain amount on Prisoners, kill all Mobs when Boss is not on the board or beat the Boss when he come out. 

Lose conditions are: you are dead or all Prisoners are dead.
