Tiles & Vials is a unique strategy game where merging identical tiles creates higher-level tiles with increasingly potent effects. As you combine tiles, you'll activate actions like swinging swords, firing bows, and raising shields, each becoming more powerful with higher tile levels.

Overview

This game challenges players to strategically merge tiles on a board. Each merge results in a higher-level tile that unleashes a specific effect. These effects can range from dealing piercing damage to enemies, crippling them, or even removing negative status effects from your character. The core gameplay loop involves managing your board space to avoid getting jammed, which forces a temporary 'rest' to clear it.
