As always, windows build should have less bugs and better performance.

Collect meeps to join you on an epic quest to the notorious House of House. You will need your wits and quick reactions to make it to the end...

Collect 3 meeps of the same variety to create a bigger meep. Pickups never disappear, so choose create your team comp carefully! You have healer dogs, tornado sharks, stomping (and pissing?) bears, and much more...

Greatly inspired by vampire survivors and snake?

Fun game. :)

However, playing the web version, I was lagging heavily towards the end (I got 1-5 fps). So, I would recommend playing the Windows version.

The class selection at the beginning is a cool idea! The art style really sticks with me it’s obvious a whole world was built, complete with its own quirky mobs. I’m loving that approach! The gameplay has a bit of a feel of the old “Uliopster” mod for Warcraft. This game totally sparked some childhood memories <3

fun little survivor like ^^ I think in the web version there is a problem with the resolution though

I appreciate an occasional survivor like. This was an interesting take on survivor likes. I couldn't see my health bar which is likely due to the resolution of the web build or the boss health bar as shown in your screenshots. The artwork is nice, clean, and simple and the music is good and fits well.

The art is really cute and it is fun to play! I lagged in the web version starting around the squid boss, but otherwise really liked this game.

and addicting gameplay mixed with cute Meeps. who could ask for more. i was sad so many Meeps were getting stuck on the south side. i like the audio of the attacks they stack pretty well.

This game was really fun, first of all the character selection was really cute and I loved the name and text of each character, the names of the bosses were funny too. I also liked the meep collecting mechanic and how they follow you around.

I played it a total of four times, which I describe below:

1. I didn't realize you could pickup the meeps in the cage and tried to survive for about 100 seconds until I eventually died, I realised that I was probably doing something wrong so I tried again.

2. I killed the first boss and due to how much fun I was having I forgot you were supposed to move north to the next area and waited and waited until the second boss appeared but of course he was nowhere to be found and at this same time my game started lagging really bad and the sound was getting horrible due to the spam of sound effects (it stopped playing sound completely at some point)

3. The first boss one shot me D:

4. I finally killed the first boss and moved north, the second boss appeared and I managed to see him for 0.1s before I obliterated him but at this point my game started lagging again froze completely and I had to restart my pc because the game took all my ram.


Overall really fun game that could use some polish and become great :)
