How to play
Pick one of 16 animals, each with its own passive ability and attack/defense stats, then fight your way down through an endless run of floors. Every battle is turn-based: you and the enemy trade attacks, and relics and rewards you pick up between fights shape how your build grows. Every 5th floor is a mandatory boss fight, and it only gets harder from there — floor 50 (and every 50 floors after) throws a special "Your Inner Self" boss at you, built directly from your own stats.
It's permadeath: one life per run, no checkpoints, and closing the tab mid-run doesn't save your place — when you come back you'll start a fresh run. How far you get is what counts, and your best floor for each animal is logged to the leaderboard under whatever name you've set.
Tips for surviving longer
- Read the enemy's ability tag before you commit to a strategy — a dodge-chance enemy punishes an all-in glass-cannon build differently than a defense-buffing one does.
- Relics compound with each other more than they help alone — a couple of relics that reinforce the same stat usually outperforms a pile of unrelated ones.
- Don't ignore defense rewards just because attack feels more exciting — surviving the boss floors is usually what actually determines how deep a run goes.
FAQ
Does my run save if I close the tab?
No — a run only lives for that sitting. If you want to stop and pick up exactly where you left off later, that's something we're looking at adding.
What happens when I die?
The run ends, your floor is recorded against your chosen animal, and you can start a brand-new run immediately — your gear and relics don't carry over between runs.
How does the leaderboard work?
It shows the best floor reached per animal, tagged with your in-game name. That name is shared across every Fun Forge Lab game, so you only ever have to set it once.
