Description

Roguelike tower climb + Minesweeper-style deduction: reveal tiles, read the numbers, fight what you find, and build your way to the boss with 3 different classes.

Features

  • Hidden floors: enemies, traps, treasure, events, exits, and merchant. Each run reshuffles the risk.
  • Threat numbers & flood reveals: logical sweeps and satisfying clears when the board opens up.
  • Three classes: Warrior (cross reveal), Wizard (random reveal), Archer (line reveal): With more to unlock as you prove yourself.
  • Relics & potions: inventory, shops, and rewards between floors.
  • Elite & boss floors: sub-boss pressure and a final tower boss on floor 10.
  • Tutorial & languages: learn the loop early; play in several supported languages.

How to play

Goal

Climb the tower floor by floor, survive fights and traps, spend gold at shops, and beat the boss on floor 10 to clear a run.

Each floor

The map is a grid of hidden tiles. You learn what is underneath by stepping onto tiles from adjacent revealed space (or by using your class skill). Numbers on revealed tiles count nearby threats; use them like Minesweeper to plan safer moves. Clearing a big safe pocket can flood-reveal many tiles at once.

What tiles can be

  • Enemies: engage in combat.
  • Traps: poison, ice, webs, blind, thorns, and more.
  • Treasure and events.
  • Merchants: buy relics and potions when uncovered.
  • Exit: reach it to finish the floor and choose rewards.

Classes

  • Warrior: tough; class reveal in a cross.
  • Wizard: fragile; class reveal hits random hidden tiles.
  • Archer: balanced; class reveal in a line.

More classes unlock when you meet the conditions shown on the class select screen.

Controls (defaults)

  • Mouse: click the board to move and reveal (confirm when prompted).
  • Space: toggle threat numbers on/off.
  • Q: class skill (extra reveals; cooldown).
  • 1 / 2 / 3:  drink the potion in that slot.
  • R: undo last step with the Smoke Cape relic.
  • Esc:  cancel Archer line aim when active.

Nice idea!

Bug Report / Comments:

  • Later levels in tutorial can be unplayable due to the “reach the fourth level” dialog box blocking us from clicking the exit tile.
  • Occasionally after camera zooming in the game does not zoom out anymore and the game is unplayable, this can happen when clicking fast
  • There should be an option to not zoom the camera when interacting with items.
  • The menu button should not kick us out to the start, by convention I thought it was going to open a sub-menu with settings but I clicked it and lost my progress instead (lol)
  • The numbers below the character’s foot should be visible. Currently we have to click elsewhere just to check what’s under us, which gets annoying sometimes

Thank you for the detailed feedback!

Those are all valid points, I will work on fixing it asap.

Just pushed a patch to address these issues!
