More about this game
Survive as long as possible in a cursed arena. Your orb automatically casts magic at the nearest enemy every 0.58 seconds by default. Fallen foes drop XP gems that are pulled toward you when you get close. Collect these gems to level up and choose from three random upgrades, like faster attacks, shields that add 18 max health, or freezing bolts. The difficulty increases over time, with stronger enemies like brutes and bosses appearing as the minutes pass. The run ends when your orb's health reaches zero.
Tips
- Keep moving to avoid getting surrounded by enemies, as they spawn faster and gain more health and speed every minute.
- Prioritize picking up XP gems to level up faster, but remember your magnetic radius is 92 pixels so you don't need to touch them directly.
- Choose upgrades that synergize well, like Triple Shot which adds two extra bolts and 1 damage, combined with Freeze to slow enemies down.
