About the Game

You are the weapon

Anchored to the center of the arena by a chain, your only defense is momentum in this physics-driven action roguelike.

  • Lash out with the mouse to build blinding speed.
  • Shatter endless waves of enemies with your chained blade.
  • Defend your burning ember before the darkness puts it out.

Hmm, the game is fun. 
but need balancing.

i think it would be better if we can get free burning fire when level up, instead as  an option with other upgrades.

also bigger sprite would be good, i think

Hello thank you for the replied, review and suggestion. Yes, the game indeed need more balancing and more power up. And there're still problem with the resolution that make the  overall view look to small, especially for the mobile. I'll update it with to make it better in the future.
