About
Lead a growing line of heroes through fast-paced roguelike runs inspired by Nimble Quest. You control your hero squad like a living snake, slashing through enemies, collecting coins, and chasing the top of the global leaderboard.
Choose one hero to start your run. Each levelup you’ll recruit one of three new followers, adding them to your tail. Every hero fights automatically with unique attacks and powerful abilities. Mixing different heroes unlocks class set bonuses: Holy improves stuns, Tech spawns more powerups, Soldier increases damage, and many more.
Defeat enemies across different themed biomes — Forest, Castle, Volcano and Ice — each filled with distinct foes and challenges. Between waves, pick one of three upgrades such as extra HP, movement speed, or bonus melee, ranged, or magic damage. Gather coins to purchase permanent upgrades that strengthen all future runs.
Climb the leaderboard, experiment with hero synergies, and build the most unstoppable tail of champions you can imagine. One wrong move, and your whole line falls, so every decision and recruit matters.
FEATURES

for a free game i enjoy it a lot, gonna go for highscores soon
Cool core mechanic and I like the different unlocks for the heroes.
Noch zu verbuggt. Stürzt öfters ab als Quack der Bruchpilot und friert einfach ein. Edit: Der Entwickler hat auf die Kritik reagiert und nun ist es ein super Spiel :)
