About this game
KEY FEATURES
100+ Unique Weapons: Swords, Staves, Shields, and Bows—each with its own distinct art and personality.
6 Rarity Tiers: Scale your power from Common all the way to Infernal in the blink of a chest.
Luck Chain System: Every item gambles its stats through a series of hidden rolls. Will the streak break, or will you hit the Perfect Roll?
Risk vs. Reward: Seek the Angel's Blessing to boost your synergies, but beware... if you wake the Demon, he will consume your progress.
Broken Economy: Start by earning a few copper coins and end up generating numbers that won't even fit on your screen.
The Ultimate Challenge: Do you have the patience (and the luck) to hoard 2,000,000,000 coins?
MAXIMIZE THE MULTIPLIERS
Place your weapons. Trigger the madness. In this game, raw gold is just the beginning; the real power lies in the Altar Synergies. By combining items of the same class or origin, you activate massive multipliers like the Trio of Swords, the Eclipse, or the legendary Triforce.
It’s a constant balance of Risk vs. Reward. Will you hunt for the perfect Dragon’s Breath synergy to x5 your earnings, or will you play it safe? Every item you swap changes the math of your entire empire.
10+ Unique Synergies: From basic weapon trios to complex elemental alignments.
Divine Buffs: Angels can permanently upgrade your multipliers.
Demonic Grinds: One wrong move and the Demon consumes your offerings.
Stack the bonuses, break the limits, and watch the gold overflow.
REALM THREATS (EVENTS)
It’s not all about winning. Wealth attracts chaos, and halfway through every round, fate will roll the dice against you. Do you have enough defense, or will you lose it all?
The Great Drake: A screen-shaking colossus that turns your savings to ash. It steals between 20% and 50% of your current gold in a single strike.
The Thief Goblin: Fast and mocking. He sneaks into your altars to steal and destroy a random weapon, shattering your synergies at the worst possible moment.
The Chest Demon: The incarnation of greed. If you wake the Demon while opening chests, he will instantly destroy every weapon on your altars.
Your only salvation? Upgrade your defense stats to scare them off before they touch your loot.
AND GOLD, LOTS OF GOLD! Never forget that. Everything else is just a means to an end.

Final Demo!
End-of-Run Statistics Book, Level Select, and the Ultimate Demo Version!Hello everyone!Following up on our latest improvements, today we bring you one of our biggest updates yet. With this version, we wrap up the main development cycle for the official demo and get everything ready on our Steam page. We've added highly requested features, adjusted game balance, and polished every corner of the UI.Here is the detailed breakdown of everything new!End-of-Run Statistics BookNo more plain "Victory" or "Defeat" screens! Now, when a run ends, a Detailed Statistics Book will open to break down your entire journey. You can check:Your favorite weapon of the run.The NPC you used the most.Your highest synergy achieved.Fun facts, key numbers, and a complete summary of how you played.Level Select & Game ModesWe’ve added the Level Selector, where you can see all 3 main game worlds.Each level will feature two modes in the full release: Normal Mode and Hardcore Mode (the latter with more demanding mechanics and extra rewards).A secret? If you manage to beat all three levels in the final game... a surprise 4th level we're working on might unlock!100% Active & Seamless Tactical PauseThe pause system is now fully active! Before, certain elements (like Altars) couldn't be manipulated while the game was paused.Now you can manage absolutely everything during pause: move and swap weapons, inspect detailed real-time stats, and plan your best combinations without rushing. Deep Rebalance: Stats vs. MultipliersWe want to be completely transparent about this balance change. Previously, if you had a 10% chance on an NPC stat and got a x10 multiplier, that chance would jump to 100%. This made reaching high multipliers (x24 or x36) break the game completely, making it way too easy to win.The change: Percentage (%) stats are NO longer affected by global multipliers (with the exception of Luck).The compensation: To keep the fun alive, we've boosted the base values of these weapons.

Stackable Synergies, New Tutorial & UI Overhaul!
Hello everyone!Following up on our recent update, I've been working hard on your feedback to push the game's mechanics and game-feel even further. Today, I’m thrilled to launch another Major Update that completely changes how you build your strategy, improves visual feedback, and introduces a much-requested feature for newcomers!Here is a detailed breakdown of what’s new:Game-Changing Mechanics: Stackable Multipliers!The way weapon combinations work has been completely redesigned. In previous versions, you could only have one active version of a synergy (for example, having 3x Swords OR 3x Dragons). If you had three "Dragon-type Swords," they wouldn't stack—only one effect would trigger.Not anymore! Multipliers are now fully stackable. If you manage to collect three Dragon-type Swords, you will get a double multiplier. This opens the door to much wilder combinations, crazier numbers, and absolute chaos on your screen!Synergy Gems & UI OverhaulTo support these new combinations, we’ve added a brand-new Synergy Gem System.Visual Clarity: Every weapon now displays distinct colored gems representing its active synergies. You can see them directly on the Altars and inside your Inventory, allowing you to identify any weapon’s type at a single glance.Connectivity & "Juiciness": We have overhauled the visual feedback for synergies across the entire UI, including the Altars and the Book. The overall game-feel, connectivity, and "synesthesia" of how synergies trigger have been massively improved.Rebalancing for Higher CapsBecause multipliers can now reach a staggering x38 (up from the previous x19 limit), we have carefully adjusted all weapon numbers, player stats, and scaling. This ensures the game remains challenging yet incredibly satisfying, giving you a much richer variety of viable builds and gameplay possibilities.Brand New Interactive TutorialWe noticed some players struggled to grasp the core mechanics at first glance. To fix this, we've created a dedicated Interactiv...Read full article on Community Announcements (Odd Raccoon)AnnouncementsOfficial
