Important
Your progression has not been reset due to the addition of achievements and leaderboards. This means that you may need to replay certain sections in order to unlock some achievements.
Alternatively, you can use the ‘Reset Progress’ button that we have added to the main menu to start again and enjoy an enhanced experience. (Recommended)
Sorry about that… but now you’ve got a real reason to climb again.
Climb the leaderboard. Unlock every achievement. Show the world how far you can go.

Balance Light and Darkness in a relentless roguelite survival.
Fight through chaotic waves, evolve your build, and reclaim corrupted realms in fast-paced 15-minute runs. Every decision shapes your power—and every run pushes the balance further.
Instead of a single arena type, each boss now has a space designed around how it behaves. Some will trap you in tight zones, others will hunt you across larger arenas.
Every encounter should now feel more distinct and more dangerous.
Community Pulse
“You have to switch forms constantly: Light kills Dark, and Dark kills Light. It’s not just mindless, you actually have to use your brain mid-fight to survive.”- One of the players said
We see you. And yes, this is exactly what we want to push further.
