9 itemsAbout the Game
In this roguelike platformer, you play as the sandmouse to descend into a maze-like dungeon. Test your map-sense and mark your way through each level to find the optimal paths.
Each day, you'll need to loot the dungeon and find your way back to the shop before night falls. There, you can purchase various upgrades to push further on the following days within the same run.
Besides enemies and traps, you'll have to race against time. Plan your route and rush through the dungeon to make it out before time's up!
