Food banks
Food is stored value. One animal can consume an entire connected region.
Unity 6 prototype · build 2026.09.03
Feed the chain.
Weaponize the fall.
A competitive puzzle game where animals eat matching food, every domino splits across the terrain, and a carefully banked board can detonate through the whole arena.

01 / THE GAME
The board is simple.
The consequences are not.
Drop two connected pieces. Animals consume orthogonally connected matching food. The empty space collapses, and the next relationship can ignite without another input.
Weak clears matter
A zero-point link still advances the cascade and can power the next strike.
Garbage is alive
Incoming pressure arrives as ordinary animal and food tiles—danger and comeback fuel at once.
Eat in depth
Cleared cubes fold into portals or spin away with stronger torque on deeper links.
02 / RULES SKETCH
Try the 6×12 well.
This lightweight browser board demonstrates placement, split gravity, eating, and cascades. The full prototype is the Unity build shown above.
EAT!
03 / CUBE SYSTEM
One game piece.
Six cosmetic decisions.
The renderer separates gameplay identity from presentation. Faces can come from a looping video, a beat-indexed atlas, or procedural fallback art while the physical cage remains free to rotate.

Tidal Drift animals · procedural food · chrome cage · pulse magenta
The Unity build saves multiple named loadouts and switches them with C. Species colors and attack-warning geometry stay fixed for fairness.

04 / ADVERSARIAL FIELD
The bots know what food is for.
BAKU100’s deterministic AI does not play generic falling-block heuristics. It values food banks, scarce animal triggers, zero-point chain fuel, incoming pressure, and the survivability of the next landing.
BUILDER DOCTRINE
Banks connected food and protects accessible trigger cells.
Explicit deep-search mode for authored encounters and long previews.
Hard work budget in the six-piece conformance fixture.
Transposition-cache reuse in the same deterministic fixture.
A 99-bot reference match completed all eliminations.

Current audio status: the cue system and custom SFX selector are wired, but the installed Tidal Drift pack contains no promoted WAV files yet. This build is silent by asset status, not by design.
