Tension Head

Tension Head is a merging roguelite where every run is a fight against the walls closing in on you. Stack shapes, trigger chain reactions, and score big before the pressure destroys you. MERGE & SURVIVE Drop shapes into the arena and merge matching tiers to score. But the walls never stop closing. Every merge pushes them back — just enough to breathe. BUILD YOUR COMBO Chain merges to multiply your score. The longer your streak, the higher the multiplier. Think less puzzle game, more trick run. ROGUELITE DEPTH Between runs, spend Crowns on permanent upgrades that carry across every run. Each run offers power-ups with unique evolutions and wild synergies — combine them right and watch everything break open. CURSES & CONSEQUENCES Every run comes with a cost. Curses stack. Walls shrink faster. The danger line rises. Learn to work with what you're dealt or get crushed. ASCENSION MODE Beat the game? Good. Now do it with the walls shrinking 30% faster. Now do it with one life. Now do it with radioactive junk dropping into your arena. Ten escalating modifiers. Each one a new way to suffer.
