A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Game Play:

Survivor-like action, but no auto-fire — you draft 3 keybound skills and chain your own combo while hunting the Portal to the boss.

Lore:

You were a well-known doctor. One day, you got hit by a car...
And sadly, you died.
Luckily, you respawned in a strange dimension with one new ability: you can shrink to micro size.

You get excited thinking a single cake could feed you for years!
then you realize that at micro size, you’re so small you can’t even take a bite...

Sitting there starving in front of normal-sized food, you finally realize the only thing you have left is your skill set — you open a clinic.
If people are willing to pay, you shrink down and deliver the only kind of “treatment” this world rewards: fighting the viruses inside the patient.

Core Idea

  • Manual combat (no auto-fire): aim + spacing actually matters.

  • Build your combo: choose skills for 3 fixed keys + passives on level up.

  • Jam run: explore → find the Portal → fight the Bossrun ends.

Controls:

  • Support for both controller and keyboard!

  • WASD: move

  • LMB: attack

  • RMB / Shift / Space: Skill Slots (you draft skills into these)

  • Esc: pause

I’d love feedback on

  • Bugs / weird interactions

  • Difficulty (too easy / too unfair?)

  • Does the combo system feel smooth or clunky?

  • Run length (too short / too long?)

  • Visual clarity (can you read what’s happening?)

Jam Build Notes

  • This jam build is a single-zone run for now: the Portal is the end-of-run objective after the boss.

  • After enter the portal, will restart the game.

Next (if I continue)

  • More upgrades & weapons: more build variety and combo options.

  • Multi-zone runs + proper portal transitions: go from zone to zone instead of ending after the boss.

  • Between-run progression + map selection: out-game-loop of permanent upgrades and choosing the next zone after each run.

  • More status effects: things like freeze, armor ignore, etc.

Inspiration

Totally inspired by games I really enjoy! 

  • Megabonk — horde + leveling feel, 
  • Risk of Rain 2 — the portal-hunt pacing,
  • Hades — run-changing upgrades
  • League of Legends — ability-kit rhythm and timing.
