Darkwaar33 - Seedwake

Darkwaar33 - Seedwake

Same seed. Same dark. Different choices.

Seedwake is a deterministic tactical descent where everyone on a seed gets the same seven floors. Brutes chase, lancers fire along fixed lines, sentries pulse their neighbours, and every attack is hatched on the board one turn ahead. Push enemies into walls or each other, grab glints before they fade, and spend them at shrines or keep them as score. Each finished run produces a compact run code. Paste a friend's code and their run replays as a cyan ghost beside you, with floor-by-floor splits and a fork marker on the first move where your choices diverged.

HOW TO PLAY

Arrows or WASD step; walk into an enemy to push it. Space waits. Shift + direction dashes when charged. Tap a neighbouring cell to move, or a highlighted cell two away to dash. At shrines press 1–3 to buy and Enter to descend. R restarts with confirmation.

GOAL

Clear seven 7×7 floors by reaching each stair. Score = glints kept + 5 per floor cleared; fewer turns break ties.
