Latest Steam announcements

  • Refreshing shop no longer causes freeze + 3 new artifacts - 18 September 2026

    Thanks to 夙无囿 for pointing out in their review that the game can freeze if you refresh the shop often enough. Previous playtesters had apparently not amassed enough wealth to trigger this condition or simply had found what they were looking for earlier. Either way, this bug has now been fixed, allowing you to refresh the shop as many times as you'd like! And in order to keep all this refreshing worth your effort, I've added 3 new artifacts to the game. Two of which will allow you to gather even more gold, for even more shop refreshes! Best of luck

  • Cancel button for tile upgrade in rest area and buffed final boss HP - 8 September 2026

    I found that it was possible to soft-lock yourself if you had a fully maxed out inventory and then went to the tile upgrade section in the rest area. So I added a cancel button to that, so you can easily back out of it. Plus I figured it's nice to be able to choose something else if you made a mistake. I've also seen pretty much everyone just completely destroy the final boss because by the time they get there, they're very powerful. So I increased his HP from 300 to 999. Let me know if you can still manage to kill him in a single turn now!!

  • The first 2 tutorial levels can no longer result in a bugged board state - 5 September 2026

    Similar to the bug mentioned in the patch I released yesterday, it was still possible to soft-lock yourself in a position where no more moves are possible, but the game doesn't register it. This time in the first two levels of the tutorial. Mainly the second level. Luckily this was an easy fix and now you can safely run out of moves again, even in the tutorial!

  • Passive artifacts no longer cause a bugged board state - 4 September 2026

    I knew I had to have missed some bugs, but you move at a record setting pace! It turns out if you had any of the 3 artifacts that upgrade your tiles at the start of your turn and then managed to run out of moves to play, the game would soft lock. This has now been resolved. Thanks for being so quick to notify me of the issue!

  • Tiles & Vials is out - 4 September 2026

    After receiving a lot of very useful feedback on the demo, the full version of Tiles & Vials is now out and can be purchased! Thanks to everyone that helped me make it a reality!!If you do find any bugs or have other feedback, please let me know through the in-game feedback form, the Steam forums or on Discord. I always want to make the game better and would love to hear what everyone thinks.

  • Demo Update #5 - 14 July 2026

    After seeing multiple playtesters miss things in the tutorial or just flat out get discouraged by the text block they had to read, I knew I needed to improve this part of the game. So with this update I've added indicators to highlight which elements require your attention, as well as improved the pacing massively. You now see each message one by one, instead of as part of a big text block, which was never a good solution.Quality of LifeReworked the tutorialImproved the pacingAdded highlight indicatorsReworded some messages

  • Demo Update #4 - 9 July 2026

    Some players rightfully pointed out that the main menu was quite bland compared to the scene where you choose your character. And when watching people play the game for the first time, I noticed that the loadout screen gives a bad first impression because it's not immediately clear what goes where. While working to improve both of these aspects, I also added some nice transitions between each screen to improve the general feel of the game.Quality of LifeRedesigned the layout of the loadout screen where you choose your tiles and artifactsImproved the look of the main menuAdded transitions when navigating to a new screen, instead of having a hard cut

  • Demo Update #3 - 27 June 2026

    I realized some players were getting stuck early on in the demo because the fights felt too difficult or because they put themselves in a sticky situation by picking a 3rd tile type right away. So I've tweaked the difficulty a bit, so it's easier to start out and made sure players don't have the option to pick new tiles for their inventory until they are a few fights in.BalancingLowered the difficulty of the first few fightsRemoved tile selection from the first few fightsContentAdded 3 new artifacts to help with board control

  • Demo Update #2 - 8 June 2026

    Some playtesters noted a few more things to improve upon, so with the goal of getting the demo nice and polished before Next Fest starts, I made a few more changes.BugfixesThe tutorial no longer breaks if you go in and out of character select before reenabling the tutorialGetting stuck in the tutorial no longer forces you to choose from the 3 vials that you would in the normal gameYou can no longer gain more energy than the amount of energy shown on screenQuality of LifeAdded the same internal border style to the Artifacts window as the Inventory windowAdded sound effects for whenever an attack gets fully blocked or dodged

  • Demo Update #1 - 4 June 2026

    Thanks to everyone who has played the demo and especially to those leaving me feedback and reviews! It's been really fun seeing people engage with the game. As part of that, there's also been a few small bugs discovered, which have been fixed in the latest patch that just went live.BugfixesYou can no longer access a certain locked character by going through the tutorialThe artifacts that spawn offensive or defensive tiles now also spawned upgraded versions of those tiles, provided you have them in your inventoryQuality of LifeAfter beating the tutorial, you are now sent to the character (and loadout) selection firstThe coins that spawn after you gain a bunch of gold no longer block your mouse clicks

Short description

Merge weapons, shields and potions while moving through a strategic roguelike board battler. Collect 50+ unique artifacts, create game-breaking synergies and outsmart deadly bosses.

About this game

Whenever you push two of the same tiles into one another, they merge into a higher level and activate their effect. This is how you swing your sword, shoot your bow, raise your shield and do much more. As the level of each tile gets higher, its effect becomes increasingly powerful; adding piercing damage, crippling your enemy or removing debuffs from your character. Just take care that your board doesn’t jam up, or you’ll have to take a rest to clear it up. As new tiles are unlocked, you can start to mix and match between any pair of tiles that you have access to. You won’t have much choice when starting out, but that will quickly change for the better as you explore the world and start leveling up. If you’ve obtained the proper artifacts, you can even go for a purely offensive or defensive strategy. Just be sure that your strategy is sound, or you’ll end up as worm food! While you might start your journey facing off against some insignificant opponents, you will quickly discover that not every foe goes down as easily. Each enemy will challenge you in a different way, either by simply applying a lot of brute force, trying to dodge your attacks or even manipulating the board itself. Be prepared for every situation and don’t rely on the same tricks working time and again! Lucky for you, you don’t have to rely on tiles alone. Artifacts offer powerful ways to manipulate the board, create a temporary advantage or enhance your next move. As you explore the world, you’ll be able to get your hands on a wide variety of these artifacts. It’s up to you to find the ones that improve your strengths or reduce your weaknesses. Choose from 10 unique tiles to form your loadout Unlock 50+ artifacts to shape your build Face off against dozens of enemies across 4 regions in 40+ levels Gain progress across runs and try different builds in a roguelike fashion

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Oct 6, 2026 to Oct 6, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $6.29
  • Highest observed: $6.29

Tiles & Vials's USD price history spans from Oct 6, 2026 to Oct 6, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $6.29, the highest is $6.29, and the first visible tracked price is $6.29. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 1
  • Discounted days: 1 day
  • Deepest markdown: -10%
  • Latest sale window: Oct 6, 2026 to Oct 6, 2026

SteamPulse has grouped rows carrying discount metadata into 1 recorded discount window, covering 1 calendar day and 1 discounted snapshot. The deepest recorded markdown is -10%, with a lowest recorded final price of $6.29 during rows named Steam sale. The latest recorded window starts Oct 6, 2026 and ends Oct 6, 2026, spanning 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking. Window boundaries follow the available snapshots, so gaps in coverage can make an actual sale shorter or longer than the recorded span.

Recorded sale names include Steam sale. The table reports the observed markdown, final price, snapshot dates, and any sale name supplied with the row. It can show whether similar discounts recur in the retained record, but it does not infer publisher intent, demand, or the reason a price changed.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $6.29, from Oct 6, 2026 through Oct 6, 2026. The latest run records $6.29 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking with a listed discount from $6.99. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $6.29
  • Current list price: $6.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Tiles & Vials at $6.29 in USD, with a listed base price of $6.99 and a -10% markdown. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
