About

Arandeep

Features
Read full description

Arandeep is a match-3 puzzle with the heartbeat of a roguelike: match gems to descend ever deeper — but one mistake can end the whole run. MATCH. SURVIVE. DESCEND. Every floor brings a new task: score points, collect gems, complete deliveries, or break through fortified blockers. Cascade combos grant bonus progress and heal you along the way. BOSSES WITH REAL TACTICS Five gem colors, five elements — every boss has weaknesses and resistances. Match the right color and hit hard; match carelessly and you won't get far. Bosses telegraph their counterattack before it lands — never an unfair surprise. PERMADEATH THAT FEELS FAIR Die, and the run restarts at floor 1 — but your meta progression persists, making future attempts a little easier without ever deciding the game for you. Relics you draft along the way make every run unique. TRULY FREE TO PLAY The first 40 floors are a complete, self-contained adventure with their own capstone boss — tough, but fair to beat without spending a cent. An optional Level Pack unlocks floors 41–100: more game, not less challenge. No pay-to-win. Game Center: 60 achievements and 3 leaderboards await. Arandeep is made by one person, by hand. If something works for you, or something doesn't: the support link on this page reaches me directly, and I read every message.
