Work through 100 levels of increasing difficulty to unlock "Hard Mode" for additional levels with an added twist. Challenge your puzzle skills with this unique take on the familiar tetromino set. Vinecraft both relaxes and engages your brain as you work your way through the levels, and Hard Mode will challenge your ability to predict and plan even more as you climb to the top of the level. Vinecraft is a casual puzzle experience with no time limit and no enemies. Simply climb to the top in any way you can. Each time you place a piece it costs one coin, you earn more coins by collecting pickups and by completing levels. Grow your plant to the top of the wall and it will blossom, as well as giving you a peek at the world beyond the walls. Complete 100 levels to see what comes next.

◉ LEAD YOUR ARMY TO VICTORY! Step into a captivating low-poly medieval world where strategy, base-building, and tactical combat collide. Face off in intense, fast-paced 1v1 real-time strategy battles and fight for dominance across ever-changing lands! ◉ EXPLORE & CONQUER DYNAMIC BATTLEFIELDS: No two matches are the same. Explore maps full of tactical opportunities and hidden dangers divided into strategic regions. The entire world is shrouded in the Fog of War - you must scout the unknown terrain to discover resources, locate enemy bases, and plan deadly ambushes. But beware! Ferocious Barbarians guard the map's most valuable, uncharted territories. Defeat these camps to claim rare resources and fuel your war machine. ◉ COMMAND & CUSTOMIZE LEGENDARY GENERALS: Lead your forces with distinct classes of Generals - the Warrior, the Builder, and the Mage. Between matches, earn Skill Points and dive into deep, RPG-style Talent Trees. Customize your playstyle by unlocking powerful abilities. Want to try a new strategy? Reset your skill points at any time to experiment with entirely different builds and adapt to your growing army! ◉ TACTICAL SQUAD-BASED COMBAT: Recruit a diverse roster of units - from steadfast spearmen and swift archers to massive orcs and powerful mages. Group them into squads and march into battle. Manage your troops manually for precise micro-control, or let the auto-battle system handle the frontline. ◉ BUILD, DEFEND AND UPGRADE: A strong army needs a strong economy. Gather wood, iron, and gold to establish your base. Fortify your territory with walls, towers, and strategic bridges to hold off enemy raids. Use your hard-earned coins to permanently upgrade your units and structures. ◉ UNLEASH DEVASTATING MAGIC: Turn the tide of war with powerful spells! Rain down fireballs, summon living trees, or slow your enemies to a crawl. But magic comes at a cost: expand your borders, capture more land, and overwhelm your opponent with arcane supremacy!
