About this game

You are a tiny knight made of living ember. Swipe to dash across a floating arena and slice through every monster on your line. One thumb, instant action, and a run that gets wilder every wave.

Enemies glow right before they strike. Dash through them before they hit, or dash away at the last moment for a perfect dodge and a burst of slow motion. Every dash costs a stamina pip, so timing matters as much as aim.

Chain kills to build your combo multiplier and your ember heat. When the heat bar is full, unleash the Flare: a screen-wide blast that clears the arena.

  • Swipe, drag-release or tap to dash and slash
  • 3 hand-made biomes: Ash Ruins, Frost Bell Tower and Sunken Forge
  • 18 waves per run with 3 boss fights: the mirroring Twin-Blade Wraith, the shockwave-ringing Bell Golem and the circling Forge Serpent
  • 7 enemy types with their own tricks: chargers, archers, shield bearers you must hit from behind, splitting slimes, bombers, teleporting imps and lantern healers
  • Pick 1 of 3 ember blessings after every wave: fire trails, chain lightning, lifesteal, blade echoes, slow-mo dodges and more, all stackable
  • Spend embers in the Forge on permanent perks and unlock 4 knight skins
  • Daily seed challenge: the same run for everyone, chase your best score
  • Hit-stop, sparks, screen shake and a punchy synth soundtrack
  • Plays offline

Easy to pick up, hard to put down. How far can your ember burn?
