Reviews
- The game features a unique blend of genres, combining platforming, bullet hell, and card mechanics in an interesting way.
- Visually beautiful with good art and fitting music that enhances the overall experience.
- The core gameplay loop has a lot of potential, with a well-polished deck-building mechanic that allows for strategic play.
- Gameplay can become repetitive over time, leading to boredom after initial enjoyment.
- Enemy AI and spawning mechanics can be frustrating, with enemies sometimes appearing directly on top of the player, causing unavoidable damage.
- Combat lacks satisfaction, as defeating enemies does not yield meaningful rewards, and offensive tactics often result in net losses.

The gameplay features a promising core loop but can become repetitive over time, with some players noting janky movement and frustrating enemy precision. While the mechanics allow for strategic play, such as pausing to use cards, this can lead to a slower, less engaging experience overall.
“The core gameplay loop has a lot of potential.”
“At any time you can pull up your hand (pausing the gameplay) and play a card.”
“The gameplay loop starts to feel a bit repetitive after a while; it might just be my modern brain with no ability to focus.”
“It's fairly simple to abuse this mechanic to just wait out the timer and hop to the next floor.”
“This cuts down on specialization and makes for very slow hit-and-run gameplay.”
