Mix Rave is not your average match-3 puzzle game. It’s a groundbreaking fusion of high-energy rhythm, strategic roguelike mechanics, and vibrant nightlife vibes. In this innovative game, you’re not just matching tiles—you’re setting the mood for an electric crowd as a DJ in a pulsating rave. Every match you make affects your audience, your income, and ultimately, your survival in an ever-evolving nightlife arena.
🎮 A Genre-Bending Experience
Mix Rave successfully blends two beloved genres—match-3 puzzles and roguelike survival—into a seamless, engaging experience. You play as a digital DJ, operating not just turntables, but also a dynamic puzzle grid that represents different musical styles, vibes, and crowd moods. Your goal is to match music types in real-time to satisfy your audience and build up the night’s energy. But unlike typical puzzle games, every match is a strategic decision that could either amplify the rave or lead to its collapse.
🧩 Match-3 Mechanics with a Twist
The core of Mix Rave revolves around its innovative match-3 system. Here’s what makes it stand out:
-
Themed Tiles: Each tile represents a music genre—EDM, techno, trance, hip-hop, and more. Matching three or more of the same genre increases that music’s influence on the crowd.
-
Combo Chains: Planning ahead and triggering combos earns bonus points, money, and higher crowd hype.
-
Mood Impact: Each tile match affects the overall vibe. Choose wisely to keep the energy flowing and the crowd dancing.
Unlike casual match-3 games, your choices directly impact your survival, income, and the audience’s reaction.
🎛️ Roguelike Elements: Every Night is Different
Each night in Mix Rave is procedurally generated. From crowd preferences to the mood of the venue, you never face the same challenge twice.
-
Randomized Perks & Consumables: Between rounds, you’ll get the chance to pick perks or buy consumables—temporary boosts or abilities that can shift the game in your favor.
-
Evolving Difficulty: As the night progresses, crowd demands increase, tile match options become more limited, and chaos rises. Can you maintain the flow and energy?
-
Permanent Upgrades: Earn money during successful sets to unlock new tracks, lighting effects, outfits, and power-ups for future runs.
Survive as many nights as possible to build your legend as the ultimate mix master.

Keeping the crowd happy is more than just matching tiles. Audience mood and preference play a vital role in your performance.
-
Crowd Types: Some nights might feature a techno-heavy crowd, while others crave bass drops and hip-hop beats. Learn to adapt.
-
Mood Meter: A dynamic mood bar shows your audience’s current vibe. Match the wrong genres or fall behind on beats, and you’ll see their energy plummet.
-
Interactive Feedback: Watch dancers react in real-time—glowsticks waving faster, dance floors lighting up, or people leaving if the music turns dull.
Your mission is to keep the energy high and the party alive.
