About this game

Set in the great celestial library with an adorable art style, Yonda the wise librarian is the only one able to seek out the bored Great Ones who decided to abandon the needs of this universe. At first glance, Biblinthus plays just like Tetris, where the player drops pieces of floor tiles around Yonda while rotating the screen to help said pieces fit together. The primary objective is to fill up Yonda's silver key by expanding the map, collecting various items, and advance to the next stage. Don't be deceived by thinking Biblinthus is just a cute puzzle/dungeon crawler with Tetris mechanics. As a finely polished puzzle, the endless possibilities of Biblinthus bring out the best of each player's patience, strategy, and imagination!

Long ago, this universe was governed by the dice rolls of the Great Ones. These dice rolls sent tremors through the universe, which incubated it through developments over the course of time. The Great Ones persevered with their dice rolls unerringly, like mice enchanted by their wheels. But one day, having grown bored of their celestial game of chance, the Great Ones stopped rolling their dice. The (not so) Great Ones: Booooooooriiiiing... And so, the universe was doomed to stagnate... ...Which is simply disgraceful when you think about it. So, the Celestial Librarian of Wisdom, Yonda, who was normally found huddled away in the depths of Biblinthus, set out to give those deities a telling off they wouldn’t soon forget!
