About the Game

what is this game?


it's a compact monster-catching fest in an online multiplayer world. It also has some optional hard stuff for people who like a challenge.

what's it like to play?


  • 1 battle = 1 levelup, and the max level is 15. I don't want to waste your time with rpg grinding
  • with only 20 Familiars in the game, you can max-out and understand all the familiars in the game within a few hours
  • ... and then you're ready for the hard stuff
  • find hidden portals to other dimensions, where you must manage your familiars' HP and your potion supply in a slew of battles against fairly smart CPU opponents
  • or, if you want, fight other players you meet in the world to test your mettle

what else is there to like?


  • it's extremely easy to pick up, play a bit, and put down
  • the only way to communicate with other players is by pressing the "howdy" button repeatedly, or running around in circles
  • I think the soundtrack is pretty nice
  • it's free btw

it's free?


Yeah this is just a hobby project made by one person. I don't need to make this my job, I just like it when people play my game lol!
