Algorithm Heroes: Battle
Card Battle Roguelike
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Turn algorithms into weapons. Turn sorting into ultimate moves.
Algorithm Heroes is a Roguelike tower-climbing game that blends algorithm learning with card-battle combat. Here, Bubble Sort becomes "Bubble Slash," Quick Sort becomes "Quick Partition," and Binary Search becomes "Binary Arrow" — every algorithm is a battle card, and every swap, comparison, and partition deals real damage to monsters.
No memorization required. Understand algorithms naturally through battle.
CORE GAMEPLAY: 100-Floor Algorithm Tower
5 chapters, each focused on a core algorithm, with escalating difficulty:
· Chapter 1 [Bubble Wilds] — Bubble Sort (FREE)
· Chapter 2 [Insertion Forest] — Insertion Sort (FREE)
· Chapter 3 [Selection Valley] — Selection Sort
· Chapter 4 [Quick Peak] — Quick Sort
· Chapter 5 [Merge Sanctum] — Merge Sort
A unique Boss guards every 20 floors: Chaos Slime shuffles your battlefield array, Pivot Demon can only be torn apart by divide-and-conquer algorithms, and Merge Dragon wields multiple enrage mechanics... You need to truly understand algorithms to exploit their weaknesses.
8 ALGORITHM CARDS — INFINITE STRATEGY
· Sort: Bubble Slash, Insertion Pierce, Selection Strike, Quick Partition, Merge Fusion
· Search: Binary Arrow (critical hit), Linear Scan, Hash Locate (ignores armor)
Each card can be upgraded to Level 3. Chain same-type cards to trigger Combo multipliers up to 2x damage. Cards have synergy effects — sort first, then search for doubled damage!
ROGUELIKE ELEMENTS — EVERY RUN IS DIFFERENT
· Normal battles / Elite monsters / Boss fights
· Shop: Buy new cards, upgrades, pets
· Treasure rooms: Random artifacts
· Rest rooms: Recover HP
· Random events: Unexpected encounters
6 artifacts with passive bonuses: CPU Booster, Recursion Chip, Stack Overflow, Hash Table... Make every build unique.
6 algorithm pets assist in battle: Bubble Dragon auto-swaps inversions, Binary Fox locks onto target positions, DFS Wolf applies hunt markers... Collect pets and build your ultimate team.
3 ALGORITHM MINI-GAMES — LEARN WHILE YOU PLAY
Beyond the tower, enjoy 3 casual algorithm mini-games:
· Match — Clear the board with linear search, hash lookup, bubble swap, and sort compress
· Snake — Eat numbers in ascending order using binary radar and BFS hints
· Blocks — Drop number blocks, sort rows, and trigger clears
Each mini-game features unique algorithm mechanics that build your algorithmic thinking naturally.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Four new on-device AI features: a post-battle coach that pinpoints your weakest card plays, build-a-Boss from a single sentence with shareable codes, AI-written event floor storylines, and voice commands during battle (iOS 26 and later). If Apple Intelligence is unavailable on your device, everything falls back to hand-written content and tap-to-play, so nothing is gated. Also fixes a placeholder appearing in coach advice and rebalances how often event, shop, treasure and rest rooms appear.
