How it feels

A casual yet strategic auto-battler where you summon creatures to fight through a mysterious labyrinth.

What players say

Players say it is a free student-made auto-battler that is very short, often beaten in under ten minutes. The main mechanic is placing units with rock-paper-scissors strengths, but reviewers note there is little depth, no way to choose which units you get, and almost no challenge.
