Stratagem: A Nonlinear Match-3 Game for the PICO-8
Stratagem is a match-3 game for the PICO-8 fantasy console. The objective of the game is to get as many points as possible by swapping adjacent gems on a grid to clear touching groups on the grid. Spend your chances to make wrong non-matching moves wisely; once you run out, it's game over!
Build Instructions
The included Makefile automatically downloads and installs
picotool for assembling and
modifying the PICO-8 cartridge's parts. You can run the following script to
download and run Stratagem on your machine (assuming the PICO-8 executable is
on your PATH).
git clone github.com/vm70/stratagem
cd stratagem
