About the Game

Welcome to the world’s weirdest factory. You don’t swing swords or cast spells, instead you build tiny heroes out of shapes, and hope for the best as they come up against endless swarms of increasingly brutal enemies. All in a day’s work!

  • Drop shapes onto conveyor belts to craft self-operation heroes.

  • Want a soldier? Try a circle and a triangle.

  • Want a tank? Try circle and square.

  • Heroes fight on their own, you’re just there to make the decisions.

  • Enemies get weirder, stronger and ruder as you progress

  • Defend your Portal from swarming pests and brute squads

  • Earn magical artifacts and upgrade your factory like there's no tomorrow.

  • Different playable characters - ‘Masters’ - have different hero types and build strategies

  • Experiment with different characters to unlock their Arcane Knowledge (permanent upgrades)

  • Find a playstyle that suits you best

You can’t control your troops, but you can outsmart the darkness waiting to gobble up your kingdom, one conveyor belt at a time.
