About Make Your Move
Make Your Move is a strategy puzzle game from AtypicalCroqueta that turns level design into a multilayered challenge. Released on PC in 2026, it blends rogue-like progression with spatial problem-solving. You manipulate a cube-shaped map to form strategic combinations, unlocking resources and improving stats while battling waves of enemies. The goal is to outmaneuver the void by rotating and rearranging sections of the map to create optimal paths. With single-player only and a focus on permadeath, each run requires adaptability. The game’s indie aesthetic and cerebral gameplay make it a standout for players who enjoy tactical depth over combat.
Gameplay
Each session starts with a randomized cube grid. You shift sections to line up resources, traps, and weapon pickups, which influence your stats for the next battle. Enemy encounters play out as mini-games where you must position your cube to create the best attack-defense balance. The interface feels tight, with keyboard shortcuts for quick rotations. Progression relies on discovering new cube types that alter mechanics, like slowing enemy movement or amplifying damage. Boss fights force you to rethink strategies based on cube configurations. Sessions average 45 minutes to an hour, with the roguelike structure encouraging repeated attempts. The challenge lies in mastering how cube placement affects both resource acquisition and combat outcomes.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate it 4.5/5, with 82% completing the core story. Average playtime is 15 hours, though 23% finish in under 10. The game’s "trippy" and "addictive" vibes dominate mood tags. Reviewers praise its "colorful chaos," though 18% call it "overly abstract." Achievements unlock at 3.7/5 stars, with 41% earning the "Cube Master" title. Critics at 4.2/5 highlight its "strategic innovation" but note a steep learning curve. At $19.99, it’s one of the most affordable high-rated indies on PC. The community debates whether the roguelike elements enhance or frustrate, but consensus leans toward the former.
PlayPile's Take
Make Your Move is a niche but rewarding experience for strategy fans who enjoy spatial puzzles over traditional combat. The $19.99 price makes it low-risk, and the 82% completion rate suggests it’s more forgiving than typical roguelikes. If you’re okay with learning a unique system and appreciate clever design, it’s worth the time. However, casual players might find the abstract mechanics frustrating. The game thrives on its ability to make planning feel dynamic, making it a strong pick for puzzle enthusiasts with patience for trial-and-error.
