Match the Mates. Calm the Grumble. Bring the world back to color.

A creeping gray mood called the Grumble has separated the Mates and drained six storybook worlds. Match the little characters so they can combine their gifts, protect each world's light, calm the creatures in their path, and turn every page bright again.

Cozy at rest. Fireworks when you pop.

Every pop makes a promise and leaves a receipt: pick a group, see what it will do — the damage, the heal, the front attack it cancels — then watch the Mates leap into action and the world answer. Calmed creatures shake off the Grumble, remember their manners, and settle into your Zen Garden.

TWO HONEST PATHS

Storybook is the on-ramp: six hearts, kinder skies on a first journey, a bookmark after every boss, and the full story payoff. Classic keeps the four-heart, full-run roguelike challenge and records. Bramble Ranks 2-5 wait beyond it.

BUILD A COMBO THAT FEELS A LITTLE BROKEN

Choose a perk pack and draft from more than 100 run-warping perks. Evolve all six colors into powerful new forms, discover dual-color Alloys as the Mates learn to work together, and assemble a build that can freeze a queue, fill the board with bombs, mint a fortune, or set off a cascade you never planned.

A lone Mate can fire a Signal Flare to call the traveling Pop Shop mid-fight — spend the pop, scorch the space, and buy the missing piece. Or save your coins for interest and protect the engine you already built.

SIX STORYBOOK WORLDS WITH TEETH

Fight through 78 campaign waves, more than 70 monsters, and 19 boss encounters. Every world is a place with a problem — relight the Seedlamp, free the Tide Bell, thaw the Hearthfire — and every world visibly returns to color as you calm it, from the overgrown Grumble Garden to the hungry dark of the Undervoid.
