🎮 Game Introduction

This is an "Arcade-Style" Match-3 game that returns to the essence of gaming.
SanGuo Tactics: Touch to Match abandons tedious meta-progression, focusing entirely on the strategic deck-building of generals and the satisfying manipulation of 2x2 blocks.

There are no stats locked behind endless grinding, nor are there complex equipment systems.
As a pure premium indie game, you only need to move your fingers, stack blocks, and tap to eliminate them. Accompanied by crisp sound effects, watch as your army of Chibi soldiers rushes like a tide towards the enemy, enjoying a pure dopamine rush!

✨ Core Features

🧠 Pure Strategy: Team Building is Deck Building
No outside upgrades! No grinding for levels!
Strategy is entirely reflected in your "Pre-match Preparation." The game uses a unique "Pick 5 from 9" mechanic:
There are 9 types of blocks in the game (6 troop types + 3 special items), but in a single match, the board will only feature 5 types.
Which 5? It depends entirely on the Generals you bring!

Want to play a Cavalry Rush? You must bring Cavalry Generals so Cavalry blocks will appear on the board.
Want to play Defensive? Bring Shield and Fire Attack Generals to increase your base HP and prepare fire torches to burn your opponent.
General Traits: Generals not only determine block types but also buff their respective troops or unlock special artifacts.
All strategic decisions are made the moment you click "Start Game." The rest is a contest of pure skill and a bit of luck.

👆 Unique Feel: The Art of 2x2 Synthesis
This isn't just simple matching; it's spatial magic.
Your ultimate goal is to synthesize "2x2 Big Blocks" and tap to eliminate them. Different big blocks have different effects: summoning troops to charge, restoring morale, healing, setting fires, or even resetting the entire board!

No Dead Ends: Unlike traditional Match-3 games, all small blocks can be clicked to eliminate them. You can clear small blocks to adjust the layout and pave the way for big blocks.
Manual Trigger: The synthesized big blocks must be clicked by you to activate. It is you, not the system, who decides the timing of the burst!
Gravity Control: You can change the direction of gravity (Up, Down, Left, Right) at any time, using physics to create opportunities.

⚔️ Battlefield Tactics: Counters & Morale
Elimination is just the means; victory is the goal. This game recreates the pressure of a real battlefield:

Unit Counters: There are clear counter relationships between different troop types. Observe the enemy lineup and use counters to turn the tide even when outnumbered.
Battle Line Pressure: There is a dynamic "Battle Line" in the center. If the line is pushed past the center by the enemy for too long, your morale will drop continuously, making the situation critical.
Morale Determines Production: Morale directly affects the number of troops generated! When morale is high, clearing a big block summons more soldiers; if morale is low, troop production drops, making a comeback much harder.

As a small-scale game made by a single person, it may not be perfect, nor does it have flashy visual effects, but I have poured my heart into the core gameplay.
