A mobile match-3 logic puzzle game with role-playing elements, and the successor of the well-received 10000000. Your main task in You Must Build a Boat is, as the title suggests, building a boat, which will eventually become a home for the protagonist and the monsters he catches. The game begins on an old boat, barely staying afloat. In time, however, you earn funds, which you use on improving it.

You Must Build a Boat Description

You Must Build a Boat is a match-3 logic game with some RPG elements. It was developed by the independent EightEight Games for PCs. It is a successor to the successful 10000000 that was released three years earlier for the same platforms. Initially, You Must Build a Boat was planned as an update for the aforementioned game, but it grew to such an extent that the developers decided to make it a full-fledged game.

You Must Build a Boat does not significantly deviate from what we know from 10000000. In the campaign, the player traverses the lands and dungeons in search of treasures, occasionally being interrupted by various enemies. We strike by combining the right icons. Using the shield, magical attacks, avoiding traps and opening chests is done very similarly.

The decision about making the 10000000's update a standalone game did not come out of nowhere. This time around, just like the title suggests, our goal is to build a boat that will become home not only for the protagonist, but also the monsters he catches, as well as the mercenary heroes that help him out in combat. We start the game on a barely floating boat. In time, we gather funds that allow us to transform it into a luxurious ship that makes treasure hunting an incredibly pleasurable experience.

Graphics-wise, the game remains similar to the retro-looking 10000000.
