- For
- Mac users who want a low-friction game during work
- Worth noticing

Field notes
On the page, each keystroke lands a five-damage hit against a Myconid Sprout; a shop preview lets the player spend earned gold on a weapon upgrade. The site says the macOS app can count presses in the background only after Input Monitoring permission is granted, while its webpage demo listens only when the page is focused. Downloads are temporarily unavailable, but the browser preview is playable.
