A tactical puzzle auto-battler built in Defold for the Game Jam 2026 (Theme: Chain Reaction).

Choose your champion, assemble your abilities into an 18-slot sequential loop, and trigger devastating chain reactions before waves of ruthless enemies and cunning traps dismantle your strategy!

How to Play

1. Pick Your Champion: Choose between 3 randomized heroes at the start of your run (rerolls available). Each hero features a distinct passive that shapes your gameplay style.
2. Build Your Chain: Drag and arrange your skills across an 18-slot looping board. Each turn, the lightning bolt races through your chain, triggering attacks, leaps, and explosive combos in sequence.
3. Beware of Traps: Enemies will actively attempt to sabotage your loop by placing traps and curses on key slots. Adapt your board on the fly!
4. Conquer the Bosses: Every 5 waves, a powerful Boss emerges with unique mechanics. Defeat them to claim game-changing passive perks.
5. Progressive Shop: Upgrade your shop’s Tier to unlock Rare, Epic, and Legendary skills, or reroll to find that missing combo piece.
