Moonlit SurvivorsHow to play
Drag anywhere on the screen to move (or use WASD / arrow keys). Your hero attacks automatically – your only job is to move, dodge and collect the glowing gems that defeated monsters drop.
Gems fill your experience bar. Each level up pauses the action and lets you pick one of three cards: a new weapon, an upgrade for one you own, or a passive item.
Eight weapons, eight evolutions
- Moon Bolt, Crescent Slash, Orbit Wisps, Glow Aura, Ricochet Disc, Pulse Nova, Sky Spark and Star Mine – each with five levels.
- Max out a weapon and own its partner passive item, and the next level up offers an evolution – a far stronger version. Collect all eight in the Evolution Codex.
- Ten passive items boost damage, cooldown, area, speed, health, armor, pickup range and more.
A ten-minute run
- The swarm grows every minute. Watch out for encirclements and stampedes.
- Elite monsters arrive at minutes 3, 6 and 9 and drop treasure chests.
- At 10:00 the final boss appears. Defeat it to win the run.
- Coins from every run buy permanent upgrades, so each attempt makes you stronger.
Five worlds
Switch between Moonlit Forest, Desert Ruins, Frozen Peaks, Candy Land and Outer Space from the menu. Each world has its own hero, monsters and effects – the balance is identical, so pick the one you like.
