About this game

KEY FEATURES

Your character has 3 distinct abilities, each one being necessary for a successful run, however every one of them consumes your stamina that recovers with turns so use them wisely.


-- DASH --

Cut through the enemies in a straight line dealing damage on them if you have your sword or dodging through them if you have no sword

-- JUMP --

Jump from a square to another, dealing stun effect on the enemies around if you have your sword or only pushing them if you have no sword.

-- THROW --

Throw your sword on an enemy dealing damage. The movements cost less Stamina when you are unarmed. You can catch your sword back mid dash or on a jump killing some enemies using less Stamina.

-- PERFECT YOUR STRATEGY --

Combine your abilities to oversmart the enemies and find the best move for every turn.

Ratings and reviews

1) I hope the dev don't remove this game from the Play Store like they did with "Upaon the Snake's Journey" that I paid 2) The game is simple yet challenging and fun to play. 3) I've cleared the first stage, but what is the purpose of being able to enter the later stages after you die with zero abilities? Is it even possible to clear every stage without any starting abilities? 4) I wish there were some kind of coin system where you could buy abilities at the start to help progress more easily.

One of the best games I've played in this subgenre. The replayability here is insane and I'm always learning new ways to tackle difficult situations with every new run. There's almost always a way to get out of a tough spot and the game never felt unfair unlike some other entries in this space. The initial high difficulty bump just takes some time to cross and it's a smooth ride from then on. Every run is completely distinct and dying isn't fruitless as you're always learning from your mistakes.

Made a super awesome build, was ready to take down the 3rd boss, but then it completely bugged out. The spiders did not take any damage whatever I did. I felt almost unbeatable up until that point. I the closed the app, and when I opened it again my entire run was lost. There is no checkpoint or similar. It says in the short tutorial that your progress is saved in the room where you get new abilities, but it is really not. Would be a 5 star if not for these bugs.
