Gridlane

Gridlane is a strategic lane defense game that fuses match-3 puzzle mechanics with MOBA combat. Match symbols on the board to deploy troops, fuel abilities, and defend your base across three parallel lanes. MATCH TO FIGHT Swap symbols on the 8x8 board to create matches of 3 or more. Each match deploys troops to the corresponding lane — bigger matches spawn stronger units. Chain cascading combos for devastating multi-lane pushes. 21 UNIQUE CHAMPIONS Choose from 21 champions across 4 classes — Frontline, Damage, Support, and Specialist. Each champion has a passive ability, lane ability, grid ability, and ultimate. From the Vanguard's sword strike to the Pyromancer's fireball to the Alchemist's dissolve — every champion plays differently. THREE GAME MODES - Normal: Real-time lane defense. Survive waves of enemies or destroy their mainframe. - Match: Turn-based tactical variant. Every swap resolves instantly — plan your moves carefully. - Defrag: Roguelike run with escalating difficulty, relic picks, and daemon buffs. MOBA-STYLE STRUCTURES Both sides have three tiers of defense: outer towers, inner walls, and a core base. Structures auto-attack nearby enemies and retaliate when hit. Destroy all three tiers to reach the enemy mainframe and win. DEEP META-GAME Unlock champions through gameplay milestones. Collect relics and upgrades between rounds. Choose daemon buffs that strengthen your units but empower the enemy. Build your strategy across runs.
