About this game

What if a simple 8x8 puzzle had Balatro-level scaling? Build your engine, trigger synergies, and push your damage BEYOND 1,000,000.

Basics

  • Complete lines to attack enemies.

  • Different block types give your attacks unique power and effects.

  • Purchase relics in the Shop and activate them to boost your damage.

  • Discover block and relic synergies to unleash massive damage!

Relics

  • Relics activate when conditions are met.

  • Relic conditions vary - from simple actions like placing a block or clearing two block types at once, to tougher challenges like clearing four types or clearing both a row and a column at the same time.

    Harder conditions grant more powerful effects.

  • Collect multiple relics that activate under the same conditions, or combine different effects to create powerful synergies - like pairing a relic that grants coins with one where spending coins boosts damage.

    Build your own strategy from countless combinations and defeat tough enemies.

Other Features

  • Challenging yet rewarding bosses with unique skills that make each battle a fun puzzle to solve.

  • Trade your Max HP for powerful relics found in a secret shop.

  • Build your deck by adding, upgrading, removing, and enhancing blocks with various Factors.

  • Universe Blocks that break the basic 8×8 rules.

  • Food that grants perks to improve your run.

  • Various items that can turn the tide of battle.

    ...and much more to discover in Lapistasia.

    Demo Update (ver.0.1.5)

    Thank you always for supporting Lapistasia. Today, we have released the Update Ver. 0.1.5 for the demo version.In this update, we have implemented several critical balance adjustments based on the valuable feedback we received from all of you.One of the most frequent pieces of feedback was that "reducing the number of blocks in hand became too much of an optimal strategy, leading to monotonous gameplay where players just keep placing the exact same blocks." Since this results in a tedious, grindy experience for players, we have taken measures in this update to ensure the core fun of the game is not compromised.【Update Details】"Trash Block" AdjustmentsThe initial price at the shop has been changed to 10 coins. Additionally, the price increase will no longer reset between shops and will now carry over.The number of blocks that can be trashed during events has been reduced from 3 to 2.Boss Defeat Rewards ChangedChanged the reward from a Block Chest (which guaranteed a factor) to a chest containing special food or Runes.Along with this change, Block Chests can now be purchased at the shop.Event (Rune) AdjustmentsAdjusted Runes with negative effects to make them more viable and easier to use.Block Power AdjustmentsChanged the Power increase per level-up for Normal and Heavy Blocks from 15 to 10.Changed the initial Power value for Attack Blocks from 30 to 40.Relic Drop Rate AdjustmentsAdjusted the item pools so that a wider variety of Relics will appear in the shop from the early game.Bug FixesFixed an issue where the Monster Meat effect "Power -2 at the end of battle" was not functioning properly.Fixed an issue where the Block Factor "Cure" only restored 3 HP, despite the description stating "Restore 10 HP."Fixed an issue where some images, including certain Relics, appeared crushed or distorted.Fixed other minor typos, misprints, and localization errors.【Upcoming Updates】New Course AdditionWe are currently planning a new course that not only increases the difficulty but...
