A new kind of deckbuilding roguelike. In Lost Pages, you don't draw cards. You draw elements. Instead of drawing cards randomly, spells require elemental resources such as Fire, Water, Earth, and Air. Every turn, elements are drawn from the pool created by your deck, creating a completely new strategic system. This unique mechanic was recognized for its originality at the Google Indie Game Festival. Draw Elements, Not Cards Each spell requires elemental costs. Your deck determines the element pool, and every turn you draw elements randomly from that pool. Managing your elements and planning your turns becomes the core strategy. A new twist on the classic deckbuilding roguelike formula. Ether - A Unique Element A special element called Ether adds another layer of strategy. When drawn, Ether changes its nature instantly and always triggers an additional element draw, sometimes creating powerful chain reactions. Mastering Ether can completely change the flow of battle. Build Your Deck Discover and combine a wide variety of: - Magic Circles - Artifacts - Runes Every choice changes your strategy and opens new possibilities. Create powerful synergies and build your own unique deck. A 5-Act Roguelike Adventure Explore a roguelike map where every run is different. Face powerful elites, deadly bosses, and unpredictable encounters as you progress through the world. Challenge 100 Levels of Hazard Beyond the main adventure lies the Dimensional Gate. A special mode with 100 levels of escalating difficulty, designed for players seeking the ultimate challenge. How far can you go? A Mysterious World Lost Pages takes place in a unique universe centered around the birth of the moon. Experience original story animations and uncover the mysteries of this strange world.

Place a crystal cluster and watch a chain unfold. Line up a bubble shot and bring a whole group tumbling down. Luma Cascade brings falling-block puzzles and bubble shooting together in five free game modes. Play offline, with no ads or subscriptions. CLEAR ROWS. SET GRAVITY IN MOTION. Rotate and place crystal pieces to fill a row. Once it clears, each column falls independently. Form another full row and the chain keeps going. A gap you leave now could set up your next big clear. • Collapse: plan your placements, handle rising layers, and build chains for a new high score. • Surge: the board keeps rising. Clear rows to buy time and see how long you can last. • Daily Challenge: a shared starting board and piece sequence, with three minutes per run. Take three ranked attempts each day, then practice as much as you like. AIM. MATCH. WATCH THEM DROP. Connect at least three bubbles of the same color to pop them. Cut off a group's connection to the top and the whole cluster falls away for points. • Classic Bubbles: the board moves down after a set number of shots, giving you room to plan each one. • Falling Bubbles: the board descends slowly and continuously. Find your moment and chase a separate high score. Drag to aim and release to fire, or choose arrow controls in Settings and tap the cannon to shoot. The aim guide helps you judge wall bounces and landing spots. FIND YOUR FAVORITE ATMOSPHERE Choose from six visual themes, including the seven-color crystals of Stardust Crystals. Switch between two music tracks and turn haptic feedback on or off. Enjoy a quick game on iPhone or spread out on the iPad screen. ALL MODES AND BOTH MUSIC TRACKS ARE FREE Play unlimited Collapse, Surge, and both Bubble modes with either free theme: Cosmic Nebula or Stardust Crystals. Daily Challenge includes three ranked attempts per day, followed by unlimited practice. Preview every theme freely. An optional one-time purchase unlocks all six themes for use in games. Restore Purchases is supported. MAKE THE NEXT RECORD YOURS Track personal bests and work toward ten skill achievements. Compare Collapse scores, Surge survival times, and Daily Challenge results on Game Center. Each Bubble mode keeps its own high score. Local play needs no separate account; online leaderboards require internet access and Game Center sign-in. Every Collapse or Surge run includes one free reset card. Using it makes the run assisted, so it does not count toward official records, leaderboards, or skill achievements. Reset cards are not available in Daily Challenge.
