How it feels

A frantic, card-driven action game where you build crazy decks and towers to mow down waves of gnomes with a lighthearted, arcade feel.

What players say

Players enjoy the deck-building mechanics and the variety of builds, though they note the difficulty spikes sharply between bosses, with the snake boss singled out as much harder than others. The lack of a save feature is a point of discussion, accepted by some but frustrating to others, and the game is seen as good value for its price.
