ABOUT THIS GAME
The Evil Geomancer has taken over the mountain, conjuring fiends from across the land to protect it. You have been chosen by the sacred Evertree to bravely delve inside.
You will help guide your Fox by attacking enemies, dodging their attacks, and gathering loot, all with just your mouse cursor (or keyboard if you prefer!).
As you progress, you will grow stronger. Acquiring new equipment, upgrading them, investing into a skill tree, and choosing permanent major upgrades in the form of Blessings.
- Simple, but engaging gameplay. Click to move your Fox, or change a Setting to make it so your Fox moves to your cursor position automatically.
- Fighting is done by proximity. The Fox gets near an enemy, they swing their weapon if they can. Combat involves deftly moving in and out of enemy range while dodging obstacles and other attacks.
- Upgrade your equipment to become stronger. Choose from 1 of 6 different weapons, unlocked gradually as you play through the game.
- Skill tree with meaningful progression and impactful choices.
- Choose a powerful Blessing upon level up, a permanent bonus that grants you great strength.
What's in the game currently:
- 4 weapon types.
- 2 floors and 3 difficulties to conquer.
- 19 different Blessings to be offered.
- Localization for 9 languages: English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Russian.

Great demo! I'm looking forward to the full game.
Only a single tiny complaint: when you fall down to a new floor, the totem sometimes spawns right below you, so it gets activated before you can move. It's not too important but it sucks when you waste a golden one. Something as simple as delaying the totem spawn 1 second would fix that.
I had one crash when claiming the reward of Floor 2 guardian normal (could be a browser thing though). I can also confirm the game lags when monsters explode on Firefox.
And as a final bit of feedback, I would like for the skill tree to have a bit more of depth. Right now it's just a straight line which barely feels like you are making a choice. Maybe merge all the skills into one large tree with their paths crossing every now and then, so you can jump from one to another and skip the skills you don't care about.
Anyway, good job :)
I am getting lags. I assume it happens with the 15% of monster exploding on spawn. On Firefox 150.0.1 (latest)
Fantastic demo. Instant wishlist.
Small bit of feedback tho, scrolling up/down in the settings on touchpad moves the sliders, small bug. With all these nice settings a "restore default settings" button might be useful.
Oh, thank you so much for the feedback. If anything else is wacky with the touchpad, definitely let me know. I'll look into patching that up.
I'm also working on general keyboard/gamepad support for menu navigation.
Good call on resetting stuff to default. I'll look into it.
