How it feels

A casual but punishing cycle of tiered challenges where you must fight relentlessly to break through each level.

What players say

Players describe it as a large collection of thirty mini games tied to the Chinese zodiac, with a reincarnation system and three difficulty layers. Many note the games are simple in concept but challenging, and that permanent item unlocks help reduce frustration. Some compare its setting to the novel Ten Days of the End. A few wish for achievements and controller support.
