6 itemsAbout the Game
Forget swords and axes. Here, the battles take place in the minds of the heroes: cute monks and elderly folks with a single goal — to meditate!
But it won’t be easy. Stress, bills, heartbreaks, and other enemies will try to disturb our heroes.
Your weapon is music!
Build a deck of pieces to prevent enemies from disturbing the monks’ peace.
Gain XP and coins, collect relics, and increase your powers. Play your instrument and defeat all enemies in each level.
There are many hand-drawn scenarios! Reaching the end will require skillful combinations of the right pieces and relics.
Dozens of unique relics
Dozens of different pieces
4 unique characters (and counting), each playing a different instrument
Dozens of enemies trying to disturb the monks
An original soundtrack composed exclusively for the game
All artwork hand-drawn by professional human illustrator
