About the game

A top-down pixel-art RPG with real-time combat. The farm pays for your gear.

You start with a small farm and a family who needs you on it. The roads out of town are not safe, and the gear that lets you walk them costs more than a good week of chores will pay. You grow crops, fish and cook, then sell in town to pay for better gear.

Four classes: Warrior, Paladin, Monk and Wizard. Fights are real-time, and enemies wind up before they swing. Dungeons have puzzles with ice, push blocks, spring pads, arrow tiles and timed plates.

Art is built on the Lil Dragon TS pixel-art pack, extended by hand. Some code was written with AI assistance, as disclosed on the itch.io page.
