Game (not) Over

Game (not) Over is a survivors-like game with deck-building elements. Lost in the world of video games, you use cards to summon hero allies and defend yourself from hordes of villains seeking revenge. Your character is not a hero, so you position allies around them and rely on their attacks to fight increasingly strong enemies.

Summon and strengthen allies

Each turn lasts about 30 seconds. You draw five cards and spend your available energy to summon allies. Defeating enemies grants experience, which you use to pick up new cards. You can play those cards to summon allies, or play them again while the allies are on the field to level them up and make them stronger. Enemies can kill your allies; when they do, you lose their firepower.

The available allies include:

• The peasant: defends himself with a pitchfork.
• The wizard: commands thunder.
• The witch: throws powerful fireballs.
• The ninja: attacks enemies with a shuriken.
• The cyborg: slashes with energy swords.
• The fury: summons powerful tornadoes.
• The space admiral: summons beams from above.
• The knight: blasts enemies away with a sword of light.
• The ice queen: freezes enemies in their tracks.

Survive each run

You choose which allies to summon and where to position them, then use their abilities to fight the enemy hordes. A roguelike run lasts about 20 minutes.
