Gameplay

As Cinnamon the Pumpkin (And Friends) you will be given sets of cards, which transport you to different hand crafted rooms full of enemies that you will have to beat all of to progress and reach harder and harder rooms. As you go through the runs you will find different types of weapons and gain different types of upgrades to make different loadouts and beat all of the bosses.

Each Weapon is able to be combined into each other, adding unique effects and adding an extra layer to all of your builds.

However, don't die, because doing so will send you straight back to the start.
