quote [ An introverted teenage girl with an unconventional superpower, Taylor goes out in costume to find escape from a deeply unhappy and frustrated civilian life. Her first attempt at taking down a supervillain sees her mistaken for one, thrusting her into the midst of the local ‘cape’ scene’s politics, unwritten rules, and ambiguous morals. As she risks life and limb, Taylor faces the dilemma of having to do the wrong things for the right reasons. ]

quote [ Match. Build. Survive. ]
One part Bejeweled, one part puzzle, one part turn-based RPG, and one part real-time combat simulator. During the day, match tiles to gain resources, which you use to upgrade your buildings, weapons, and armor. At night, match tiles to get your sword and shield...and also summon deadly monsters. You'll need to carefully time and plan your matches, and the use of powerups from your loot chests, if you are to survive.
