❤ Robust Customization and Build Variety

The game allows players to unlock and equip up to 4 different spells, which can be further evolved and leveled up. Additionally, there is no limit to the number of passive "auras" players can equip, providing even more opportunities to synergize different abilities. The game also features a "smuggler" system, where players can occasionally find shops that offer "illegal" upgrades - special abilities and modifiers that dramatically alter how the character functions. This vast array of customization options results in an almost endless variety of potential playstyles, as players can experiment and theorycraft endlessly to find their optimal demon-slaying setup.

❤ Engaging Shrine Mechanics

Random shrines appear throughout each level, providing powerful temporary buffs if the player can defeat a certain number of enemies within the shrine's area of effect. Deciding whether to pursue these shrine buffs against the increased danger of concentrating enemies in one location creates engaging risk/reward decisions for the player. Some shrines also offer special upgrade opportunities, such as the "Smuggler's Shrine" which provides rare and powerful illegal upgrades, further incentivizing players to manage when and how to engage with these shrines.

❤ Customizable Difficulty and Endless Mode

Players can fine-tune the challenge level to their preferences by adjusting enemy health, speed, and damage using in-game sliders. Upon completing the main level timer, players are presented with a choice to either continue their run in an endless mode or attempt a more difficult timed challenge. This endless mode allows skilled players to push their builds to the absolute limit and see how long they can survive the ever-increasing demon horde, providing tremendous replayability and longevity.

❤ Satisfying Progression and Permanent Upgrades

Between runs, players can use an in-game currency called "Astral Flowers" to unlock permanent character upgrades, including passive boosts to stats like health, damage, and experience gain, as well as the ability to evolve and mutate auras to unlock unique effects. This sense of persistent progression, where each run contributes to long-term character growth, keeps players engaged and motivated to continue improving their skills and build optimization.
