Loved
- Instant fun with one-button simplicity
- Satisfying evolutions and screen-filling chaos
- Absurd value for the price
Not so much
- Visual clutter can make it hard to see
- Little skill expression in many runs
Play it if anyone who wants a quick, hypnotic power trip.
Skip it if players who want deep tactics or careful aiming.

Tips
Play it better
- Weapons evolve when maxed and paired with the right passive, then you open a chest after the 10-minute mark.
- Whip plus Hollow Heart becomes Bloody Tear, which heals you as it hits.
- Magic Wand plus Empty Tome becomes Holy Wand. Knife plus Bracer becomes Thousand Edge.
- Garlic plus Pummarola becomes Soul Eater, a great survival weapon.
- Spend gold on PowerUps between runs. Might, Area and Amount are strong early buys.
- Pick up the Magnet item or level the Attractorb when the screen fills with gems.
