About
💎 Forge Synergy. Shape Fate. Score Big.
Turn simple gem matches into massive score explosions.
Ruina is a roguelite puzzle game about discovering powerful synergies, stacking absurd multipliers, and building game-breaking scoring engines. Buy scrolls, relics, tools, and boons to create unique builds that transform every run into a new puzzle to solve and a new high score to chase.
⚙️ Build Absurd Synergies
Every run begins with a simple goal: match gems and score points.
How far you push that score is up to you.
• Match Gems: Build your score by matching colors and triggering powerful gem effects.
• Buy Scrolls & Tools: Collect scrolls, tools, relics, and charms that multiply one another in unexpected ways.
• Discover Broken Combos: Combine effects to create explosive score chains, massive multipliers, and game-changing strategies.
• Adapt Every Run: Randomized shop choices ensure no two runs play the same.

The "Balatro" of gem matching games. Imagine if Balatro and Candy Crush had a child, this game would very likely be the result. There's no timer, so it's very casual, but the difficulty ramps up pretty quickly. With no timer though, you can take all the time you need to try and make sure every move you make gets you big-time points so you can advance to the next, more challenging level. A very well made indie game for sure. I'd love to see a couple of more modes added, such as a speed (timed) mode, and perhaps another different mode. I'd also LOVE to see a Steam global high score list added as well. ..Besides that, great little gem if you like gem matching games! RECOMMENDED, unless of course you are the typical Steam moron buying this and expecting Call of Duty.. ;-)
Fantastic chill puzzle game. Easy to learn, fun to play, and the various scrolls/potential combos will keep me playing this for the foreseeable future. Would buy again.
After spending almost 9 hours in the demo alone the game has it's hooks in me yet again. A mix of Puzzle Quest and Balatro. Let's just say I am 100% the target audience. A bit of rebalancing was needed and has happened. Sadly some scrolls that werealready underpowered now have gotten completely useless. Glad I stumbled upon this game on the Next Fest, extatic to see it finally releasing.
I'm really enjoying this game!! It's the perfect balance of strategic and low stress so it's super easy to get sucked in and spend a couple hours playing. Tbh, I've enjoyed playing it before bed just to mellow out. I definitely recommend it to people that enjoy "deck builder" style games.
Fun progression, clever combinations, big numbers go wooooooo
Wonderfully addicting, satisfying, and cozy indie puzzle gem game! As a big fan of balatro, this scratches that itch.
Ruina is nostalgic and addictive. I enjoyed the music, sounds and general gameplay. Scrolls, boons and relic enhance replay-ability with different pathways to victory that keeps me coming back for more.
This game is a unique blend of Match 3 and deck builder style games. Each run has me thinking about what I can tweak to make the next one better and when the gems align, it’s an amazing dopamine hit. It’s a super chill game that is easy to play and I’ve enjoyed using the Steam Deck for it.
Great Game to just chill with.
Great game! Easy to understand, challenging to master. Strong "just one more run" vibes.
