It's all about card placement and area-of-effect.
This is an experimental, card-based, horde-survival game. You only have one decision, where to place your current card. It's all about placing cards in the optimal spot to deal damage to as many monsters as possible.

If you find this interesting, I invite you to drop a comment below if you'd like to see the game extended. I have several ideas for monster cards, elemental cards, improving RNG and much more. And a follow is obviously also appreciated.

HOW TO PLAY:

  • Place card: Left or Right Mouse 
  • Return to menu: R or Escape
  • Try kill enough monsters to keep from exceeding the maximum (bar on the left)
  • Survive the required amount of rounds to win (bar at the top)

Each time you play a card, the round ticks up; if there are too many monsters, you lose. If not, the next round commences, more monsters will spawn and your next element card will be drawn.

There are several creatures of the night, each with their own weaknesses (some of your elements are effective against multiple monster types).

ALSO: Be sure to experiment with different difficulty modes (changeable on menu).
These modes change the round goal, monster maximum and monster spawn rates. Lower difficulties can be helpful when learning while the higher difficulties contain a brutal and satisfying challenge.


This game was made in 2 weeks for the Alphabet Superset, a creativity challenge about making a new creative piece for each letter of the alphabet.
N is for 'nearby'. Or maybe night? (vampires and werewolves and stuff...)

Thanks for playing!
