What awaits you there!?
Play an authentic hack-and-slash roguelike with simple left-right tap controls!
==========================
Introduction
This is an action rougelike game, where you explore automatically generated pixel dungeons and worlds. Enhance your equipment with the items you bring back after completing a dungeon.
◆Many actions available
Take a variety of actions such as jumping, wall-scaling, rolling, etc. by tapping on the left or right side of the screen. The character will run automatically in the tapped direction.
◆Exploration mode: no change in the dungeon for a day
In normal exploration mode, the dungeon does not change throughout the day. The same stage can be played again even if you fail, allowing you to remembering the map layout. During the same day, all players will conquer the same stages, so you may be able to share information among other dungeon explorers.
◆Deep exploration mode: changes its dungeon with each play
You can enjoy more rogue-like play in deep exploration mode, where the layout of the dungeon changes with each play.
◆A variety of weapons such as swords, spears, staves, etc.
Players can use the materials they bring back from exploring the dungeons to strengthen the various weapons they equip.
You can also combine weapons of the same type to further enhance them.
◆Change your avatar by changing your equipment
When you wear various types of equipment, the avatar of the player character changes! You can also change the color and enjoy customizing it for each player.
This Action game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
A lot of people are talking about the controls and to change them, but the point of the game is the switching and turning of them. Switching the controls would change the whole point of the game. An alternative would be to give the player two choices of controls, one that switches and other that is locked. Is a game of skill, you have to be focused on where your character is facing. Also it would be nice to add a little story to give more ambience to the game. But it is a nice experiment.
Its like a console game but on mobile.
So far this game has surprised us with fun. The simple system becomes more complex and fluid as you battle more monsters and have to survive the floors. Cool concept and can be expanded so much.
Looks and feels like a great game but the extra mechanic of switching from left to right tapping to perform various functions is confusing and hard to wrap your head around. Game of skill for sure.
We could imagine this being a good game, but the controls are near impossible, well, to control. The constant flipping of the buttons, the inconsistency being jumping and rolling, how impossible it is to get up walls without devoting all your attention on the controls, its waaaaay too hard.
Really fun game, cool controls, nice artstyle but one thing; you need to add an attack rate/speed stat that shows when you view a weapons stats.
It has amazing gameplay but the controls are trash they constantly switch when you hit a wall or jump.
Its a pretty good time waster! Id love to see yall expand on the game some more.
Ive only played it for 30 minutes and its really fun. The only thing we dont like and we see a lot of reviews that agree with us are the controls. They arent very intuitive and the switching when we switch directions throws us off. Improve the controls and you will have a wonderful game.
We think this game has great potential, but the controls are holding it back for us. If there was an option to lock controls (to make them not switch when you turn or jump). We think that would take this game to another level.
The game is rather fun, with a few tweaks could be a premium game. Two downsides we see so far, is, the price to remove ads is extremely expensive $7.99, and no motivation to continue playing after clearing available stages. Great game though.
A poor clone of Archero, although with a much slower pace. Controls are absolutely terrible.
Dont be fooled by the IAP, you are still required to view ads to access many game features. Skip it.
