IMPETO

Spinning in a corner is not a plan.

An arcade roguelike. Build a top from a blade, a ring and a tip, then send it into a bowl full of enemies. Push them into bombs, slide over ice, and hit the boss so hard that a part falls off.

01

Dash into them

The top that drives into a hit does almost 5 times the damage of the top that gets hit. Waiting is losing. Hit hard enough and a part falls off.

02

Build the top

A blade, a ring and a tip. 18 parts. Every part changes the shape of the top on the floor, not just a number on a card.

12 rooms to the boss

Every room is one fight. Sometimes it is one rival with a name and a grudge. Sometimes it is 20 small ones at once.

A swarm room, many small enemy tops surrounding the player
04

The room fights too

Ice floors. Barrels of TNT. Pillars in the way. Anything that can hurt you can hurt a rival, so push one into it.

A room full of barrels and TNT
05

Win the room, take one card

A skill, a stat or a relic. 27 of them. Do not like the three on the table? Reroll for coins and see three more.

Over the wall, run over

Your spin is your life. When it stops, or when you go over the rim, the run ends. You keep the scrap. Come back with a different top.
