Help two heroes work together to fight off different types of enemies as you ascend to the surface. Create totems along the way to gain special abilities, health, and gold. The more steps you take, the faster enemies appear, so be efficient!

Try the mobile version if the above doesn’t work on your phone.

  • Use arrow keys to move. 
  • Press X to switch heroes.
  • Bump into enemies to attack.
  • Different enemies attack in different ways. Keep an eye on your health (the red bars next to each hero).
  • Each floor has three colored squares. Stand on two at once to ascend to the next floor. The square you didn't stand on will be replaced by a totem matching its color.
  • Once a totem is created, it lasts for the whole game. To reach the surface, you’ll need to be smart about which totems you create and where.
  • While a hero is standing on a green or blue totem, the other hero gains an ability:
    • Shoot (green) lets you attack enemies at range by moving toward them.
    • Jump (blue) lets you jump onto enemies to kill them. You can also jump over walls.
  • Red and orange totems are consumed when you step on them and refilled when an enemy steps on them.
    • Red totems give you health.
    • Orange totems give you gold. Gold is useless, but it’s your score at the end of the game.
  • Ascend to the surface to win!

Wow this is really really cool. It's really fun trying to plan which totem you need for a given floor. I also like that enemies respawn a totem when they cross over it, meaning you can farm health or gold for a bit if you position correctly for a given floor. Very strategic and satisfying!

I also love that you can swap heroes strategically to attack an enemy that's targeted one of your other heroes.

This is really creative, nice job!
