Carrot Heart

Carrot Heart is a co-op roguelike for two players. You explore a changing dungeon where items and enemies differ between runs. Death sends you back to the start, though gold you saved may help you last longer on the next attempt. You can play alone, but the game is built around having a second player.

Fight the enemies

The dungeon has 18 enemy types, each with its own abilities. Thirteen have three armor modifications. Different enemies call for different tactics: facing three at once can require six tactics simultaneously. Repeating the same weapon choice can lead to a quick death, so you choose from 12 melee weapons and 7 ranged weapons to suit the situation. Weapons break, making the environment and other items important in a fight.

Use the dungeon

You can break oil casks to slow enemies, then set the oil on fire. Water casks can cool down fire enemies before you electrify them. The dungeon also contains casks of acid and gunpowder, bonfires and floor spikes. You can lure enemies into traps, but risk getting caught in them yourself.

The dungeon holds weapon enhancers, throwable weapons, explosives, food and traps. You can also craft items from junk you find: for example, throw a stone at an enemy, or combine two stones into a bolas that immobilizes its target.

Food and crafting

Eating a carrot restores 1 Health Point. Mixing a carrot with a chile pepper makes a salad that restores 2 Health Points and gives a Fury bonus.

At your base, you can build and upgrade four structures, each for making one item:

• Workbench: make one item.
• Alchemy table: make one item.
• Field kitchen: make one item.
• Garden: make one item.

Curses and blessings

Some enemies, traps and magical items inflict Curses, such as slow walking or preventing health restoration. Blessing tokens grant positive effects, including electric feet, fire hands and enhanced armor. Combining tokens from the same set correctly gives you the best effects.

The characters

The main characters are hares.
