Untamed Lands

This is a pure JavaScript / TypeScript game made in 13 days for the Gamedev.js 2022 Game Jam.

A match-3 puzzle game (with light idle / incremental gameplay features) set in a dark, desolate world. Gather raw materials; upgrade your tools, camp, and defenses; and brave the unknown with increasingly difficult match-3 gameplay.

Players with Web Monetization enabled can toggle an optional resource bonus, and get early access to an alternative tileset that normally unlocks near the end of the game.

Theme: RAW

The RAW theme immediately pushed my brain to "raw materials" and I bounced between a few ideas of factory games, and farming games. Finally I landed on a pseudo-incremental game idea where you would play a match-3 puzzle game to collect the resources you need.
