Husktide

The swarm does not stop. Neither do you.

Pick one of five heroes and walk into a field that is already filling up with things that want you dead. Your weapon fires itself; your job is to be standing somewhere survivable when it does, and to choose well every time the field pauses to offer you something.

• Five heroes, and each one starts a different run. An archer who picks off whatever is closest, an axethrower who cuts through a line of them, a knife thrower with almost no damage and an absurd rate of fire, a pyromancer who sets the grass alight, a paladin who simply does not die as fast. Every hero can pick up every other hero weapon during a run.
• Bosses that change the field rather than just having more health.
• Gold that outlives the run. What you take off the field buys permanent upgrades, so a run you lose is still a run that paid for something.
• Keyboard or one thumb, and it pauses the moment you leave the tab.
