Primordio is a unique survivor-like game where you are a wisp floating around an abstract landscape filled with ambiguous creatures. You kill stuff to release exp, grab exp to level up, level up to upgrade your stats, and upgrade your stats to kill more stuff, then after each run you spend essence to get meta-upgrades and make yourself stronger for the next run. This is the standard loop for the genre, but Primordio adds a couple of unique twists: 1. You move by dragging and dropping yourself. It sounds weird, but works surprisingly well, and can allow you to weasel your way through tiny gaps in the enemies to find a safe place to park. 2. "Words of power" are a unique, fun mechanic where you find runic words floating around the void, which you can eventually inscribe to add different effects to your game. Some are just stat boosts, some make the game harder while giving you bonus exp or essence, some add completely new mechanics to the game, and a few make you totally overpowered. Each run, you can choose which ones to inscribe depending on the type of game you want to play. 3. When you get too strong or max out your meta-upgrades and can't progress further, you can reset most of…2 found this helpful

Fun, satisfying little wave survival game where you zap enemies as a chain lightning ball. The click and drag mechanics make it unique from other games of its type, and make it more about placement + precision movement.2 found this helpful
Very nice click and drag entry into the roguelite genre. The graphics are simple but fun, and the audio is pretty engaging / reactionary. Stage 1 felt a bit slow at first, but that's the power progression. By the 3rd or 4th attempt I was starting to see a big damage impact and cleared the stage to the exit portal. Be sure to spend your essence!2 found this helpful
I am become lightning incarnate. Shockingly fun incremental roguelite with a simple premise and absolutely addicting gameplay.2 found this helpful
A very simple premise, but very addicting. Never been a 'one more run' kind of person but I just keep starting a new run right after another. It probably has something to do with how with every run you learn and get just a bit better, but in a very noticeable but simple way so you want to 'go again' to push it just a bit further. The meta-progression definitely aids in this matter, but it never really feels like the meta-progression is what is catapulting me further(like way too many roguelites are guilty of where it feels like you are arbitrarily stat-checked until you've put x amount into y stat), it is the efficiency of movement and upgrade priorities/timings that's getting me massive run gains. I didn't really expect much when I got it, but I'm having a ton of fun1 found this helpful
