Lumen Drift

Every level-up is a slot machine.

Survive the yokai night until dawn. Three reels spin each time you level up: land a double for +2 levels, land three of a kind for a JACKPOT and +3 levels at once.

v2: a full remake

• 16 weapons, and every one evolves (16 evolutions) - shuriken, katana, spirit orbs, thunder, fire, boomerangs, zones and more
• 14 passives: armor, regen, luck, greed, growth, duration, extra projectiles...
• 3 stages: Bamboo Grove, Dunes, Shrine - survive 10 minutes to unlock the next
• 8 characters with their own starting weapon - 2 at first, unlock the rest by playing
• 40+ enemy types and 9 bosses with multi-phase patterns
• Treasure chests open 1, 3 or 5 rewards - evolutions come out of chests
• Break pots and braziers for food, magnets, bombs and gold
• Gold is saved - 14 permanent upgrades in the Power Ups shop
• Damage-per-weapon breakdown on the results screen

A run lasts 20 minutes. Survive until dawn to win.
