About this game

The Counting Stones is a timed word-search game where you connect adjacent letters on a grid to spell words and hit each depth's score target before time expires. Longer words and an abacus combo multiplier earn more copper and obsidian, which you spend in the shop on pickaxes, lenses, and other upgrades. Dig deeper and the cave throws cracked, obsidian, and cursed tiles at you across an underground that grows harder with every level.
