About

Tilebound

Features
Read full description

Tilebound turns the soothing rhythm of mahjong solitaire into a build-craft roguelike. Clear a free pair of tiles to play a hand that scores chips times a multiplier against a rising gate. Between rounds, draft run-altering artifacts and special tiles that warp how you score, then chase escalating gates across a procedurally generated gauntlet. Every run is a different synergy engine. A humble tile clear can snowball into an absurd combo that smashes the gate. Lay that build-craft chase over the familiar, layered tile board and you get one more run, every time. FEATURES - Classic layered tile board with correct free-tile matching - A roguelike run across eight escalating antes - Draft artifacts and special tiles to build a scoring engine - Wild, multiplier, bonus, and gold special tiles that change the math - Deterministic seeds for fair, repeatable runs - Saved runs, run history, and best-ante tracking - Full dark mode and Dynamic Type support, plays entirely offline TILEBOUND FULL (one-time unlock) - Endless mode that scales past ante eight - The full artifact and special-tile pool - A new Daily Challenge board every day - Alternate Neon and Stone tile themes No ads. No subscription. No tracking. Pay once if you want the extras, or play the full core run for free.
