About this game

Tap the lava serpents pouring from volcanic vents to harvest obsidian, sulfur, and magma, then spend those resources on recipes that shield you, seal vents, or warp reality. A countdown ticks toward each eruption, and you craft wards to blunt the damage and keep your HP alive. Eruptions grow fiercer with every wave, so the goal is simply to endure the crucible as long as you can.
