Ratings and reviews

Fun idea, nice color palettes and no pay to win. Gameplay has too much RNG, a streak of misses will just end a run through no fault of the player. Feels like it's rigged to force ad engagement. Roulette attacks are way too slow and disrupt flow. Failing these is far too punishing and unreliable. UI is inconsistent, sometimes forcing you to use on-screen buttons, sometimes forcing you to tap directly. Context buttons overlap and cause input errors. With polish I could see this being 5 stars.

It's a fun game with more depth as you upgrade your favorite character and the items. Can be slow to get the higher upgrades, taking 2 or more runs between upgrades. Also, once I paid to remove the ads, I lost the option to revive my character one time. I don't like that I was punished for paying! Edit: In that case, I will accept the reality of the situation! It's true that I've gotten further (to the last boss) after removing ads, so it may be too easy with the revive. Thaaaaat's game balance!

I like the art style, and the gameplay is challenging but addicting, with a good ramp up as you unlock/upgrade things. One technical issue I've run into is that the game doesn't autosave your progress during a run, so if you leave the application and come back to it, then the game restarts, which loses the current run you're on.
