How it feels

It feels like tinkering with a logical machine, where each battle is a test of the behavior you designed rather than direct action.

What players say

Players love the asynchronous multiplayer that pits their custom-designed creatures against others' creations, driven by a state-machine programming system. The ranking system, where players become bosses at their deepest depth, is a standout. The community is small but the developers are responsive.
