Slide · fuse · reach Gold

Fuse opposites. Reach Gold.

Aurifex is a slide-and-merge puzzle with a twist: tiles only fuse when Sun meets Moon. Slide the board, pair opposite poles of the same substance, and climb the Celestial Ladder from Prima Materia all the way to Gold — and beyond it, to the Stone.

The rule

Only when Sun meets Moon.

The board teaches as you play: attraction threads show which tiles can fuse.

  • Pair opposite poles

    Same substance, opposite pole, and the tiles fuse one step up the ladder.

  • Conjunctions

    Every few swipes a Conjunction lets any two of the same substance meet.

  • Fill the Heat

    Chain fusions to fill the meter; on a full one, the next fusion climbs two steps at once.
