Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
53 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The combination of roguelite and autobattler mechanics centered around organizing pipelines is genuinely original, highly entertaining, and surprisingly addictive.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Especially on the higher difficulties where inventory restrictions come into play, on many occasions I had to take a moment to think in order to find the optimal layout of my pieces and the satisfaction that this provides is fantastic.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art style is pretty (I'm a sucker for pixel-y stuff), the music is a bop, the enemies are varied and require a bit of a shift in strategy.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
5 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
For a free game, there’s a solid variety of “weapons” and build possibilities.
