Shape Ascent - Roguelite

Merge Shapes to Reach the Crown!
In Shape Ascent, your goal is to merge identical shapes on a 5×5 grid to create higher-tier shapes and chase the ultimate prize — the Ascent Crown (8128). Two matching shapes combine into the next tier when they collide. Plan your moves carefully: when the board fills up with no possible merges, it's game over!

Every few moves, you'll be offered a choice of Power Cards with unique abilities. Choose wisely — cards like Score Boost, Star Boost, Spawn Block, and Emergency Save can change the course of your run. Use the Undo button to reverse a mistake, or the Remove Tile tool (unlocked at Triple Star) to clear an unwanted piece from the board.

Desktop Controls:
↑ (Up Arrow) or W: Move all tiles upward.
↓ (Down Arrow) or S: Move all tiles downward.
← (Left Arrow) or A: Move all tiles left.
→ (Right Arrow) or D: Move all tiles right.
U: Use an Undo charge.


Mobile Controls:
Swipe Up: Move all tiles upward.
Swipe Down: Move all tiles downward.
Swipe Left: Move all tiles left.
Swipe Right: Move all tiles right.
Tap the Undo button (↩) to reverse your last move.
Tap the Remove button (✖) to select and remove a tile from the board.
Tap the Settings gear (⚙) to adjust sound, language, or restart the game.

Shape Ascent - Roguelite is a merging puzzle played on a five by five grid, where geometric shapes combine to climb toward a final prize called the Ascent Crown. You start with basic triangles and squares, and each swipe slides every piece on the board in one of four directions.

When two identical shapes meet, they fuse into the next tier, progressing through pentagons, hexagons, stars, crystals and essences, with 13 tiers in total. The twist comes from a roguelite card system. Every few moves, you choose a Power Card of common, rare or epic quality, offering effects such as score boosts, merge bonuses or emergency saves that change the rest of your run. You also have limited undo charges and a tool that removes a single tile.

Swipe on a touch screen or use the keyboard on a computer, in landscape mode. The game ends when the board is full and no merges remain. Keep your highest shape in a corner, since this leaves the rest of the grid free for building.
