About the Game

Slay monsters to gain gold and experience, then try your luck at obtaining items to become stronger. Race the clock, as enemies get more powerful over time and as you progress. Die, and it's back to the beginning.

  • Unlock 10+ characters, 60+ items, and 15+ game-play modifiers to open up different ways to play, and slay.

  • Explore 7+ biomes, with their own variations to keep each run unique.

  • Original chiptune-styled music.

Play solo or with up to three friends in online co-op play. Survive together, revive each other, and try not to die amongst the chaos.

Will you make it to the end?
