A quirky, turn-based deckbuilding puzzle game where you collect and combo items to help a squat, goofy character recover his stolen coin.

What players say
Players praise the humor and Isaac universe but split on the game itself: many call it too repetitive and shallow for a roguelike, while others find it a fun distraction. Reviews consistently note bugs, broken achievements, and that development stopped.
