## What is Rune?

Rune is a fast, beautiful arcade of color and shape. Runes fall toward your base. Read each one and tap its matching code on the pad to destroy it before it lands. Clear waves, build combos, and defend the base.

No words, no reading, no luck. The pad is a small deducible keypad, so every run rewards focus and skill, not chance.

Four ways to play:
- Hue: match by color
- Form: match by shape
- Compose: match color and shape together
- Daily: one shared run each day that feeds your streak and the boards

Three living themes: Jewel, Pastel, and Ink. Collect ancient runes in the Codex and unlock trails, base skins, and pad rims. Keep a daily streak, open a daily chest, and climb the leaderboards.

Designed for calm focus and quick sessions. One hand, all ages.
