How it feels

A calm yet gradually tense puzzle game where merging orbs rewards you but forces risky choices that ramp up the challenge.

What players say

Players enjoy this Suika-like with rogue-lite spells that keep each run fresh, but they report performance hiccups, twitchy cursor control, and visual issues on Steam Deck. The pixel art on larger orbs divides opinion, and some find the spells frustrating rather than helpful.
