Features that shape quick rituals

Short loops, deep hooks

Three to seven minute sessions built around meaningful choices and escalating risk. Each run feels decisive.

Adaptive events

Weekly modifiers, rotating objectives, and curated playlists that keep the meta fresh without long grinds.

Built for sharing

Stream overlays, short highlight clips, and social leaderboards designed to spark moments that travel beyond a single session.

Measured for fun

We track retention signals and expressive metrics rather than raw hours. Small payloads, fast load, and consistent frame delivery.

  • Median session: ~8 minutes
  • Average load: under 6s
  • Community events launched weekly

Design pillars

Clarity, consequence, and spectacle. Visual feedback prioritizes player understanding while the systems allow expressive mastery.

How it works

  1. Spawn: start in a compact arena with randomized hazards.
  2. Adapt: modifiers dynamically alter enemy behaviors and objectives.
  3. Resolve: runs end with a short verdict, score, and optional replay clip for sharing.

Systems are deterministic by default so replays line up and analytics remain meaningful across clients and streams.
