The roguelite puzzle game Titanium Court, released April 24, 2026, won the Seumas McNally Grand Prize and Excellence in Design at the Independent Games Festival before launch. On Steam it holds an "overwhelmingly positive" rating. Players control a queen who must guide a fairy court through shifting terrain. At high tide, the board becomes a match-three puzzle where clearing tiles reshapes the battlefield and collects resources like food, wood, and water. At low tide, terrain solidifies and enemies attack, but the player's earlier moves determine unit positioning and defense. New gimmicks such as treasure chests, volcanoes, and catapults appear as stages progress. The game currently does not officially support Japanese.
