❤ Tight, Responsive Controls and Mobility

The game features incredibly tight, responsive controls that emphasize mobility and quick reflexes. Players can jump, dash, and wall slide to navigate the environment and avoid enemy attacks. The default control scheme maps jumping to a shoulder button, allowing you to shoot, move, and jump simultaneously for precise control during chaotic combat scenarios.

❤ Health as a Risky Currency

The defining gameplay mechanic is the use of your health as a form of currency. You can spend your own hit points at various stations to purchase items, open chests, and upgrade your abilities. This risk-reward system encourages you to carefully manage your health, weighing the potential benefits of an upgrade against the cost of losing valuable hit points.

❤ Souls for Healing and Progression

To offset the health expenditure, enemies drop "souls" upon defeat. As you accumulate these souls, you can use them to partially or fully restore your health. This creates a constant push-and-pull between spending health to gain power and then regaining that health through successful combat.

❤ Extensive Weapon Variety and Upgrades

The game features a wide variety of unlockable weapons, each with unique properties and playstyles. You can find and equip these weapons during a run, further enhancing your capabilities through various upgrades and relics. The ability to customize and synergize different weapon and upgrade combinations adds depth to the gameplay and encourages experimentation.

❤ Randomized Challenges and Adaptability

The game's levels are procedurally generated, ensuring that each run through the clocktower presents a unique challenge. Room layouts, enemy placement, and item/upgrade distributions are randomized, requiring you to adapt your strategies on the fly and capitalize on the opportunities presented by the generated content.

❤ Persistent Progression and Unlocks

The game employs a meta-progression system that allows you to unlock new weapons, relics, and other enhancements through repeated runs. These permanent unlocks carry over between runs, gradually expanding your arsenal and opening up new strategic options as you progress.

❤ Accessible and Customizable Experience

The game offers a range of accessibility options, including the ability to adjust game speed, enemy damage, and aim assist. This allows you to tailor the experience to your personal preferences and skill levels, making the game accessible to a wide range of players.
