Very cool idea! It took me a while to figure out how the match-3 mode connected to the dungeon mode, but really liked the concept when I did. I think there is very little incentive right now to swap between modes, as the best method imo is to collect gold and create a easy path in match-3, then just run to it in dungeon. Maybe making obtaining gold be mainly through dungeon would create a stronger incentive to switch?

Glad you liked it, and thanks for the feedback! I definitely agree that there needs to be a better balance between modes, I had a few ideas for ways to intertwine the two better and push you to swap more instead of being able to easily just freely play the match-3 mode until you have enough gold to do whatever you want, but unfortunately I wasn't able to finish much more than the basic proof of concept in time. I'm hoping to revisit and refine this idea in the future though!
