Miner's Craft

Cube Burst is my entry for Bezi Mega Jam #1. The theme is "Genre Collision", so I crashed a match-3 puzzle into a crafting game and a trading game.

How it plays

• Pull the lever to pour a sack of ore onto the wall.
• Click blocks to break them. You have a limited number of picks, so every swing counts.
• When 3 or more touching blocks of one color line up, they pop and drop ore. Bigger groups give more. Cascades chain.
• Put ore in the furnace and press SMELT. Mix metals for alloys: Copper + Tin = Bronze, Iron + Coal = Steel, Gold + Copper = Rose Gold.
• Sell what you don't need at the Trading Post. Prices shift with demand, so selling the same thing over and over drops its price.
• Spend gold on new sacks, bombs and blueprints.
• Level up and put points into the perk tree. Sweep clears a whole row, Drill clears a whole column, and Chain Lightning jumps between blocks of the same color.

The goal

Forge all six trophies of the Smiths' Guild: Bronze Shield, Steel Sword, Golden Goblet, Golden Sword, Rose Crown and Guild Charter. Forge all six and you become a Master Smith.
