Three in a Rogue: Classic
Three in a Rogue: Classic is a unique roguelite experience born from the GMTK Game Jam with the theme "Out of Control." Players take on the role of managing a Match-3 game, guiding its progression through strategic decisions. Each turn allows three actions, balancing tile swaps and potion usage. Swapping tiles consumes one move, and only adjacent pairs can be exchanged. Potions, costing one action, clear all blocks of a specific color, offering powerful yet limited interventions. The game blends challenge and creativity, rewarding thoughtful planning. Developed by NotExplosive, with music and sound design by Ryan Yoshikami, and visuals crafted by Jessica Turner, it stands out for its innovative approach to classic mechanics. Sound effects come from LiamG’s contributions on Freesound.org and Fireball SFX. This title is a must-try for fans of puzzle and roguelike genres alike. It proves that clever design can turn simple mechanics into something truly engaging.
