This is an enjoyable retro Match-3 game at an unbeatable price. Traverse dungeons while matching tiles to unleash attacks to clear monsters and chests. Gather resources to complete various upgrade trees. It's a good game to turn your brain off and feel that satisfying progression. I played through the whole game on Steam Deck using mouse+keyboard, and it took me about seven hours for my first playthrough.

The sequel to 10,000,000 that somehow feels slightly worse than the original. It's still a good time though.

Despite the "modest" art style, it's a good choice for a mindless match-3 experience. There is a layer of strategy with the enemies resistance and weakness to certain attacks, but you can ignore all that and just focus on matching tiles. If it's too hard, upgrade some stuff and get back to matching.

It's about the journey, not the destination. YMBAB is a match three game, like it's predecessor called 10000000. If you just want to randomly hop in for a short game, it's good! It makes a good filler.
