About the Game

In Survivors SymphonYs, the tree at the center has to be protected. Its roots weave SymphonY patterns, from the depths of the earth through time and space – the source of your magic. Therefore, your weapons are musical instruments, and your attack patterns based on music. Each combination of instruments creates a musical variation, leading to over 28 million possible scores. The better your instruments harmonize, the more SymphonY you accumulate, the higher the tempo of the music, and the more damage you deal. Dash to the rhythm of the music for additional strength, to break bones, activate special attacks, and reflect bullets.

Explore and Defend

Your goal is to survive for four days, protect the tree at the center of your base, and descend into the well of darkness to confront the evil in the abyss. Explore five hand-crafted levels filled with over 150 unique monsters, and listen for new musicians to aid your cause. But beware: while carving your path through hordes of enemies, your base will also be attacked by the evil lurking in the well. This calls for tough decisions: do you level your weapons or the defenders in your base? Do you keep exploring to gain more experience, or warp back to defend? Do you sacrifice your health to clear the base, or will that lead to an even quicker death?

                          

                                                  Warp back and clear the base.
