Overview
10000000 merges match 3 game play together with character progression and a dash of Bejeweled. The player plays as a hapless would-be hero locked in a vast dungeon, and the only way to escape is to achieve an arbitrary score of ten million points during the course of one run. While the player plays match three with the sliding tiles to gain resources and attack on the lower portion of the screen, an avatar of the player progresses left-to-right through a 2D representation of a dungeon on the top of the screen - the player must choose which type of tiles to connect in the lower screen in order to overcome the obstacle facing the avatar on the upper section of the screen.
Gameplay
The screen consists of three sections. The top contains the player's collected materials (Experience, Wood, Stone, and Gold), shield count, and held items. Just below that is the dungeon, where the player scrolls to the right and is stopped by wicked creatures, chests, and doors. The core gameplay takes place though the final door, this consists of match-3 gameplay, similar to that of Bejewelled.
Rather than matching similar tiles as quickly as possible, the goal is to match the corresponding icons for a particular action at the appropriate time to swing a weapon at an enemy, use a key to unlock a chest and door, gather stone and wood, or boost shield count. It is impossible to complete the dungeon on the first rank; however, as players gain resources, they can exchange them for stronger weapons, armor, and other benefits.
A rank system exists that provides the player specific missions to complete in order to progress to a new rank. Bonus multipliers increase with each rank, making it easier to stay alive longer, gather more resources, and score more points. Once the player reaches ten million points in a single run, the door will open to escape the dungeon. The player is then given the opportunity to continue playing.
Tiles
There are several different tiles that the player must match in order to initiate their given ability. They will be needed to be matched in pairs of three or more in order to clear from the board and gain their benefit.
- Sword: Swing the basic weapon at the enemy. (4+ matching tiles grants damage bonus)
- Stave: Shoot the magical weapon at the enemy. (4+ matching titles grants magical effect and damage bonus)
- Keys: Unlock an encountered chest or door. (4+ matching tiles unlocks two locks instead of one)
- Chest: Chance at gaining an item. (4+ matching tiles "double chance")
- Stone/Wood: Gain a small amount of the corresponding material. (4+ matching tiles earns higher yield)
