About this game
Fragment Collapse is a super-satisfying tile matching rogue-like deck-builder.
Match clusters of files to defragment your hard drive and earn a score then boost that score to the stratosphere by upgrading your computer with unique cartridges, enhanced files, and system upgrades.
You're going to need all these and more to stay ahead of the ever increasing score demands, overcome the various challenging boss levels, and ultimately beat the game!
Cartridges offer unique ways of upgrading your computer's abilities letting you crunch through even more files.
But be careful! Each successive cartridge slot requires bigger and bigger file clusters in order to be triggered!
Apps can be installed into the grid, granting special power ups, bonuses, and extra scoring when files around them are matched.
The game currently has:
40 Cartridges
10 File Enhancements
8 System upgrades
17 Apps
13 Bosses
With more to come!

Demo v0.2.1
Version 0.2.1 of the Fragment Collapse Demo changes the following:Fixed issues with OBS not recording when in Borderless Fullscreen/Fullscreen modes(There is still sometimes an issue when first booting the game/changing window modes, but clicking out of the game then refocussing the window seems to fix this, I'll continue trying to improve this if I can though!)Quality of life improvements:The Deck View screen now shows the current state of the grid and which bosses you've defeated this run, giving you more informationSpeaking of the Deck screen, you can now sell APPs that you've installed yourself (ones placed by bosses are locked in place though!) in the grid view Added a "Manual" (lower left corner while playing) which gives a handy little overview of how the game worksRemoved slot upgrades*Added some more contentTweaks and balancesBug fixes* After changing how slot upgrades work several times, I've decided they might be best just not existing, they seemed to be confusing people (probably largely because I kept changing them...) and adding clutter to the game. I think there's definitely scope for some sort of purchasable upgrade that can increase your base score, but I'm not sure that slot upgrades are the way to do it (I was wondering about file-type based boosts, so for example you could boost EXE files, so on match they'd go from +1 Score, to +2 Score +1 Combo or something). I would love to hear your thoughts on that! Thank you so much to everyone that's playing the demo, wishlisting the game and giving feedback, I really appreciate it!

Demo v0.2.0
Version 0.2.0 of the Fragment Collapse Demo shakes things up a bit! Here's the main things I've changed for this version:The tutorial has had a massive overhaul to hopefully help new players understand what's going on!Base scoring has been tweaked:The previous version added score and combo for each activated slot. Slot upgrades would increase the amount of score/combo added for a given slotThe new version adds score and combo based on the length of the initial matchWhen a slot is activated it now applies a combo MULTIPLIER, but it starts out at x1 so by default does nothing. Upgrading a slot now increases the multiplier applied when the slot is activated.Bug fixes and other improvementsI hope you're enjoying playing the demo! I'm hard at work adding all the content that I want to be there for the final version of the game.I really appreciate all the feedback I've been getting and cannot thank you enough, it really helps to not only motivate but to make the game as good as possible for you as well!Cheers,BarneyRead full article on Community Announcements (Barney)Patch NotesOfficial
