About this game

**4 levels and Brawl are available for free. You can buy the full game with one payment**

Let's play a game: I'll give you some puny humans, and you try to help them make it through my labyrinth. No, you won't be controlling them in battles - they'll fight automatically! My game is about strategy and praying to RNGesus, not mashing buttons. You can buy items for the humans: swords, crossbows, coffins, stale pretzels. Plus, I'll let you give them cool mutations! A few Topochlorians in the blood and some Crocodile Skin never hurt anyone. There's one catch, though: if you die, you have to start over entirely, and the whole world will be generated again from scratch. Yes, my game is a roguelike game. Well, roguelite, if you're a nerd who loves compartmentalizing us creators into strict genres.

I almost forgot: my game has a multiplayer mode, too! But I'm not going to tell you anything about it, because King of the Hill is a special secret multiplayer mode that only unlocks once you beat the game.

Ratings and reviews

I had been waiting so long for a port of this game to come out, and from the outside it looks great. Though I'm having this issue where the menus overlap, even in the setup select screen the words overlap and stay there so it's hard to tell what I have selected. Another issue is that once I actually do get in, the humans leave like a snail trail anywhere they walk, and it stays even if you go to a new room. Third, on the screens border there's another overlapping bug like on the starting menu.

Fun game. Have it on Steam and it's great. I hate that you can't link accounts. Also, moving units in the mobile version is awful. The weakest part about the game is poor balance. For example, in brawl mode, some traits (like revive after battle) don't make sense which is a carryover from the base game. In koth, mutagen + shooters seem to be the predominant strategy since means to counter it are weak. It seems like you just one-shot or get one-shot in koth.

Absolutely absurd to pay $20 dollars for a mobile app that doesn't have any connection or carry-over to the steam version. I'd understand if it were but it isn't. It's not on the playpass either, so $20 for a game like this, then if you want it on steam, to pay another $20 is ludicrous. It should definitely be cheaper on mobile, given the lack of features and customization that you can normally do with a computer. Great game, bad price. Shouldn't rob people for $40 to own it both ways for this.
