Swipebound is a grid-based rogue-lite where every swipe sends all tiles sliding across the grid! Collect weapons, dodge enemies, merge matching items to forge stronger gear. ***THE GRID IS YOUR BATTLEFIELD*** Each swipe moves everything: your warrior, every enemy, every item on the board. Pick up a sword by swiping into it. Slide two matching swords together to forge a higher level. Combine treasure chests to multiply your gold. Every move shifts the whole board. Plan three steps ahead or get cornered! ***OUTLEVEL OR DIE*** Combat is a numbers game. A Level 2 sword defeats Level 2 enemies and below. Swipe into anything stronger and you take the hit. Enemies spawn from the edges, scale with every turn, and can slide into you when you vacate a tile. Stay ahead of the curve or get overwhelmed. ***THREE MODES, THREE FATES*** Squire: 5×5 grid, swords only, no HP or damage. A pure survival puzzle where positioning is everything and only gridlock ends your run. Adventure: Full bidirectional combat with swords and shields. Revives available. The classic experience with global leaderboards. Cursed: 4×4 grid. No revives, no shop bonuses, no consumables. One life. No safety net. A separate high-stakes leaderboard. ***BUILD BETWEEN RUNS*** Earn gold from treasure chests and spend it in the shop between attempts. Raise your max HP permanently with Fortitude upgrades. Start runs pre-equipped through the Starting Armory. Carry scrolls that teleport, swap, or wipe the board clean when the grid turns against you. Every run, you grow a little stronger. ***FEATURES*** Fluid swipe-to-slide grid movement Kill streak bonus scoring system Deep enemy tier system (Basic Enemy >> Ancient Enemy) 40 unlockable adventurer portraits Merge and combine mechanics Global and friends leaderboards Permanent cross-run upgrades Portrait and landscape support Three separate game modes No forced ads, ever
