Read full description

A game inspired by Into the Breach and Baba is You in which you push enemy robots into water by moving the earth beneath your feet! Push tiles by tapping an adjacent tile in your desired direction. When you do, your tile pushes every other solid (non-water) tile in front of you in that direction. You cannot, however, push toward a mountain tile. Whenever you move, each enemy's action timer decreases by one. When it reaches zero, they attack the endangered space(s) in front of them. Destroy enemies or tiles by pushing them off of the edge or into chasms. Destroy all enemies without dying to complete the level!
