How it feels

A light strategic defense game where you manage coins and gravestones to fend off waves of monsters.

What players say

Players describe it as a turn-based merge puzzle with boulder dash-style pushing, where every move advances enemy spawns. They say it starts simple but quickly becomes deep and punishing, and the loop of merging coins, feeding altars, and managing the board is addictive enough to keep them coming back for hours.
