What is POMOLOGIA?
POMOLOGIA takes the deck-building genre and forces it to play nice with match-3 mechanics, resulting in a weird but addictive puzzle experience. You collect 200 unique fruits and build a deck to manipulate the board, turning simple color matches into complex strategic puzzles.
Gameplay
You’re diving into POMOLOGIA, a weird little hybrid from NT-Labo that mashes up deck-building with match-3 puzzles. Instead of mindlessly swapping gems, you’re collecting 200 real-world fruits, each with its own specific ability. You build a deck to hit coin targets across 20 stages, but the real magic is in the board manipulation. You’ve got 'Play Skills' and fruit abilities that let you rotate colors and trigger chain reactions. It’s less about finding the perfect match and more about how you construct your deck to break the board’s logic. If you loved that feeling in Balatro where one card suddenly makes everything explode, you’ll get a kick out of these combos. The variety is insane. You’ll pivot your strategy mid-run because you pulled a fruit that completely changes how you handle color rotations. It’s a tight, experimental loop that rewards smart deck construction over reflexes.
