Our take on You Must Build A Boat

The defining structure is split attention: players slide tiles on a 6x8 grid while a character runs through the dungeon, linking puzzle matches to actions such as opening chests and attacking.

What is You Must Build A Boat?

A tile-matching game set across procedurally generated dungeons.

Players slide rows or columns on a 6x8 board and make groups of at least three tiles while a character runs to the right. Matching keys opens chests, and matching swords attacks enemies. The journey includes finding artifacts, capturing monsters, recruiting crew, disarming traps, making chapel offerings, and trading items for gold. Players can accept multiple quests at once to raise the difficulty, then work toward goals incrementally. The game asks players to focus on the tile board and the running character at the same time. Its retro presentation and repeated attempts are part of the experience.
