GRINDSTONE is a game of sword-slashing puzzle battles from the award-winning creators of Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP, Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes and Critter Crunch!
Grindstone Mountain is overrun with vicious Creeps! Slay your way up its treacherous peak where fortune, glory (and death) awaits!
It’ll take sharp puzzle skills and an even sharper blade to cleave your way through the swarms of bloodthirsty Creeps dwelling within Grindstone’s dungeons. Battle bosses, loot resources, discover long-lost blueprints for powerful gear, all while cleaving the innards from your deadly foes! Now with more than 200 levels of intense puzzle-battling madness!
more Thanks to yours truly there's a new statue in that Shrjine Church! I'm pretty sure Jjertrude expects a bunch of sacrifices there so go and check out what's new. She said it was "really good" but she said it funny. Kinda like "goo'ed" but maybe that's a fancy new way of speaking. Who can tell.
Anyway, I did my part, now it's your turn to sacrifice some of your time!

It would appear the Mystic has opened some kind of new portal right in town and I don't think she even filed the appropriate permits! She's been calling it her ""Mysticverse"" and bragging that there are 100 brand spankin' new levels there so you know what that means, you've got some stonegrinding to do!
This could take a while, don't forget to pack a lunch!

Happy 4 years of grinding your way up Grindstone Mountain, stonegrinders!
I heard you like hats and whatnot, so as a treat I commissioned Harry and Dottie for some head-warming goodies and added some thread to your backpack! Beware: those hats may look appetizing but they ain't edible!
Thanks for your dedication to making Hjellhjole its best! NOW GET BACK TO IT!
