This game demo can be downloaded off Itch.io at

It is available for Windows and Android.

It is a game in the style of Inflation RPG, where each run you have a limited number of battles, then you start over but you get to keep the gear you bought or that was dropped by foes, giving you a good chance at getting farther the next time. I really like this kind of game, although it's very different from what I usually record.

The games I know of in this style are:

Inflation RPG
Zawia RPG
Hero's Quest: Automatic RPG
Ashes - Exponential RPG
Resolute Hero RPG
InfinityRPG
Re:Level1
Re:Level2
Our Ascent
Chronos Trials RPG
Eruption RPG


In this game demo I reached Hard mode, visited the first shop, and got demolished by the first bat. But after that I could buy Gem III accessories at the end of a run, even if I was playing in Normal mode. I bought some Gem III accessories and equipped them, and that allowed me to gain a footing in Hard mode.

I've made some more progress since, but now I'm not really getting any further each attempt. That's not a bad thing; Hard mode is probably meant to be fairly hard. We'll see if I do start making more progress again. There are a lot of things I could try.

edit: I did start making progress again. The biggest thing that helped was obtaining a full supply of three Stat Gem II items, and putting them to good use.
