    About the game

    You play a Leaper, an animal hero who lives on a floating home called the Ark. Each run sends you into the Vortex, a shifting storm of dangerous islands full of enemies and bosses. You dash, strike and chain abilities at speed, and you collect weapons, trinkets and gifts that change your build. When you die, you return to the Ark with resources that unlock more gear for the next run.

    Up to three players can team up online. Each player has their own camera, loot is shared, and you can teleport to a friend who gets separated. When a teammate goes down, the rest of the team fights under heavier enemy damage until enough enemies are cleared to bring them back. Enemies have more health and hit harder in multiplayer.

    The game is still in early access. It suits friends who like fast, demanding fights and trying out new builds run after run.
