Match gems. Fight bosses. Save the kingdom. Hero Craze is a match-3 puzzle adventure where every swap powers a party of five heroes. Line up swords, shields, arrows, and spells to unleash special attacks, chain cascades for big scores, and take down the generals standing between you and the castle. STORY MODE — Journey through five worlds and 25 hand-built levels, from the Village of Aru to the Dark Forest and beyond. Each world ends in a boss fight where your matches become your attacks: build the right gems, land your specials, and watch the boss dodge, counter, and summon minions to stop you. A PARTY OF HEROES — Knight, Warrior, Mage, Ranger, and Healer fight alongside you. Match their gem to trigger their power: sweeping sword strikes, shield bashes, volleys of arrows, arcane flames, and healing light. BOSS RUSH — Replay any boss you've beaten against the clock, or run the full gauntlet back to back for your best time. LAST STAND — An endless mode where every move is fuel. How long can you hold the line? Hand-drawn pixel-art heroes, painted worlds, animated story cutscenes, and an original soundtrack with its own theme for every world and every boss. Worlds 1 and 2 are free to play. A single one-time purchase unlocks the full game — no subscriptions, no energy packs to buy, no ads. Your progress syncs across your iPhone and iPad with iCloud.
