An idle tower-defense roguelite that respects your time.
One Core, one collapsing Grid, and waves pouring in from every angle. You build the Core that guns them down, push each run as deep as you dare, then Shatter to bank the haul. Here, death is the bank: you keep every run’s haul.

Defend. Draft. Shatter. Converge.
Four verbs you’ll know in a minute and still be mastering in a month. Every run is a fresh build and a fresh gamble.
-
01
Defend
Your Core fights on its own, unloading everything you’ve socketed into a 360° storm. The bigger calls are yours: read the board, watch HEAT climb, and choose how deep to push before you Shatter. When the pressure spikes, spend run-Scrap on REPAIR, HOLD, or a damage SURGE.
-
02
Draft
Every run deals a new hand. Draft Glyphs, slot Chips, and chain Circuits into a Core that plays fresh every run. Re-roll the offer for free, because today’s winning build becomes tomorrow’s puzzle.
-
03
Shatter
Cash out the second the run is worth it. Shatter to lock in your Scrap and Data for keeps and come back stronger. Push too far and breach? You still bank it all. Death is the deposit.
-
04
Converge
Hit Convergence for permanent power you keep forever, starting in your very first session. Every reset relaunches the loop from a higher floor, and the numbers start going vertical.
Socket eight Glyphs. Fire them all at once.
Stack up to eight Glyphs and every one of them fires its own weapon: fans, beams, orbits, and drones, each with its own shape and cadence. A full board reads as layers you can pick apart, and it gets denser with every level you pour in.
32 Glyphs 36 Chips 451 named fusions 31 foes
Merge two Glyphs and you get a named hybrid that fires in a way only that fusion can. Complete a set and the whole run reorganizes around one bonus. Build for raw damage, for survival, or for pure chaos, then Shatter on your own terms.
Then the endgame opens up.
Finish the Axiom tree and a second game unfolds behind it, built for players who are still here after a hundred runs.
- Vestiges
- Hunt, forge, and equip 12 collectible relics, each with a passive that reshapes a run. Roll for rarity, climb a three-tier Attunement, and awaken one to Apex.
- Deep Hunts
- Push a run past wave 100 to recover a Vestige’s Fragments. Every Vestige sets its own deep-run rule for how you earn them.
- Research
- A 46-node tree of permanent Core upgrades that runs on real time. Commit Scrap and Data to a node, come back, claim it.
- Gambit
- Stake earned Axioms on a live run. Hold past the floor wave and Shatter by hand for a bigger payout. End the run any other way and the stake is gone.
- Ultrabosses
- 5 climax fights from wave 50, each a different question about your build. Beat them all to fill the Codex trophy shelf.
- Core network
- Link up to 8 Cores, each with its own feel and bonuses, and garrison Vestiges across them.
Something new is always open.
The rules of a run are not fixed. Some weeks the Grid itself changes, and there is always a track worth finishing.
Weekend Anomalies
A new Anomaly opens every Friday and closes Sunday, drawn from 14 of them. Each rewrites the run rules, more spawns, faster foes, thinner health, then pays out a track of Flux, Grid Sync, Vestige Fragments and Axioms.
Grid Season
A rolling reward track with a Daily Directive to chase. Claim a tier whose cosmetic you already own and it pays Flux instead.
Climb to Grandmaster.
When you’re ready to prove it, two ladders run a real ELO climb through seven leagues, Bronze to Grandmaster, on a fresh shared challenge every day.
- Aegis Trials
- Everyone pilots the exact same daily kit, so the only variable is you. Pure skill, and anyone can reach the top.
- Ascendant Ladder
- Bring the deepest build you’ve forged and throw it at the entire field.
Place into a league, take up to 3 matches a day on each ladder, and climb the live Standings against a named rival. Seasons wipe the slate every six weeks, and season rewards are cosmetic.
Idle that plays fair.
This idle game earns every minute you give it.
- Real offline progress
- While you’re gone, your Core keeps mining and your best build keeps running. You come back to a real, itemized payout, ready the moment you open the app. The offline catch-up is computed to match live play exactly.
- Four permanent trees
- The Foundry, the Mainframe, Research, and the Lattice all snowball, and they’re all earned by playing. Your power spikes hard inside the first half hour.
- Endless variety
- Run affixes, 451 Glyph fusions, and Circuit synergies open a huge space of viable builds. Every run is a fresh puzzle with more than one answer, and the deeper you go, the more the meta opens up.
- What money buys
- Flux packs buy cosmetics, Research skips, and extra Draft re-rolls. The Starter Cache buys a Yield Surge and a Foundry theme. Grid Season’s premium track buys cosmetics, Flux, and two early Glyph unlocks. The Mainframe subscription buys daily Flux, a second Research slot, and a longer offline window. One purchase clears the ads and adds a permanent 50% to Scrap and Data. Rewarded ads stay opt-in.
