Ascension Address
Blood bags? Cultists? Eldritch fish monsters? Yeah no thanks, the seas are getting to wild for my tastes. Time to retreat back to the warm safe bubble of sounds and colors carefully designed to keep you playing one more turn. Maybe this time I can pull of that sweet combo move and beat the level!

Non-dynastic Proposals
Ascension
Lukas used the mechanics of the game very well during the mid-dynasty to accumulate a fair amount of Fruit, and continued to increase his stockpile until near the end, while at the same time ensuring that his Matches increased faster than other Puzzlers. At the end, he used it to his advantage to exercise the Turn Actions that only cost Fruit and no Coins in order to be able to take more than 3 Turn Actions during his Turn, collecting enough to meet the win conditions of getting a Potential Score greater than the Victory Threshold.
