Categorize! vs Four Symbols Battle

Find similar elements and group them.

A puzzle game that trains your instinct for the Chinese Five Elements — learn by playing, not memorizing. ▸ Story The power of the Four Symbols — the ancient mythical beasts protecting the village — has been locked away by mysterious seals. Their protection gone, villagers fall ill one by one, as something strange and unrelenting spreads. Legend has it these seals can only be broken by collecting fragments of the constellation powers tied to each beast. But gathering these fragments requires a power long forgotten: wielding the active forces of the Five Elements. To save his family and friends, a young warrior embarks on a grueling journey — mastering Wuxing, the ancient Chinese cosmic system of Metal (金), Wood (木), Water (水), Fire (火), and Earth (土), to clear his way through the board. ▸ Learn by playing, not memorizing. Heads up: this isn't the four elements you grew up with. No Air here. Five elements interact in continuous cycles — aim, fire, and chain them together, and you'll start to internalize their relationships without even trying: Yellow border = Generate (Sheng) — one element feeds and strengthens another. Red border = Overcome (Ke) — one element naturally beats and controls another. GENERATE — who's feeding who * Wood (木) → Fire (火) — wood fuels the flame * Fire (火) → Earth (土) — fire leaves ash behind * Earth (土) → Metal (金) — earth yields the ore * Metal (金) → Water (水) — metal sweats out condensation * Water (水) → Wood (木) — water grows the tree OVERCOME — who's got who beat * Wood (木) beats Earth (土) — roots crack the soil * Earth (土) beats Water (水) — earth dams the flow * Water (水) beats Fire (火) — water douses the flame * Fire (火) beats Metal (金) — fire melts it down * Metal (金) beats Wood (木) — metal cuts it down The more you play, the faster the patterns click in your mind. Land the right combo, commit the cosmic cycle to memory, and clear the board! ▸ Collect the Constellation Fragments Each mythical beast's power lies scattered as constellation fragments, locked away by the seals. Clear the board, claim the fragments, and break the seal a little more. ▸ Face the Four Symbols Journey through the domains of the Four Symbols, each a full world built from its own seven constellations of the ancient sky map: * East / Spring — Azure Dragon * South / Summer — Vermilion Bird * West / Autumn — White Tiger * North / Winter — Black Tortoise ▸ Unlock Mythic Powers Level up, earn Gold and XP, and unlock the power of the Eight Trigrams — Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen, Kun. These ancient symbols are reimagined as game-changing abilities to help you master the arena. ▸ Why Learn Wuxing? The Five Elements cycle isn't just ancient theory — it's the same logic behind feng shui, traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese astrology, and even martial arts strategy. Once you know how Wood feeds Fire, or how Water controls Fire, you'll start spotting the same five-element logic in tea ceremonies, zodiac readings, and everyday Chinese culture. Playing is the fastest way to learn it — no textbook, no memorization drills, just intuition built one match at a time. Just aim, fire, and watch the real Five Elements cycle click into place — fragment by fragment, seal by seal, until the village is saved and the family is finally home. ▸ Supports Bluetooth wireless controllers.
