Chains

Chains is inspired by classic building games like The Settlers II. In these kinds of games, you place production buildings that generate specific goods. These buildings are connected through a road network to deliver those goods to a central hub. That creates the foundation for increasingly complex production chains and technologies.

But Chains does things a little differently. First, you play as small monsters living in a cave system. Second, there are no roads—these monsters throw goods to each other instead. And third, the game demands a sense of rhythm: to deliver goods on time, you have to adjust both the beat and the direction at which your carriers throw the goods.
