Time Survival:
- The core objective is to survive waves of increasingly powerful enemies for a fixed amount of time.
- The tension builds as the screen fills with monsters, creating a thrilling and often overwhelming experience.
Horde Survival:
- The sheer number of enemies that appear on the screen is a core part of the gameplay. The game can become very visually chaotic, in a satisfying way.
Weapon and Item Synergies:

- Discovering these combinations is a major part of the game's appeal.
Pixel Art Aesthetic:
