The game
Pixel-art monster-taming with the depth of a competitive battler and the warmth of a small-town life-sim.
351 original creatures across 18 elemental types, each with multi-stage evolutions. Every one has a Quality score (1–100), a Nature, a passive Ability and a Held Item to min-max — plus shiny variants to hunt.
2v2 duels on a full 18×18 type chart with crits and status. 900 moves, 25 battlefield effects (weather, terrain, hazards), and abilities & items that fire all fight long. Catch the weakened with prisms.
30 distinct zones — forests, reefs, snowfields, deserts, volcanoes and more — each with its own music and creatures. A day/night cycle, type-themed gyms, and The Depths: a 20-floor roguelike dungeon.
Settle in Brightroot: buy and decorate one of 100 homes, fish 30 species and roast your catch over a campfire, cook 25 recipes, grab a meal at the Diner, shop the boutique, and heal at the clinic.
A shared world with zone chat, DMs and a live friends list. Trade creatures and items, wager gold on PvP duels, fight 6v6 arenas, and run a full player auction house — sellers get paid even while offline.
An original MP3 soundtrack with separate theme, battle and boss playlists — and an in-game jukebox to pick your track. Original pixel art, animated battle backgrounds, and a cinematic studio intro.
18 elemental types
Begin with one of seven starters, then build a team across all eighteen elements and an 18×18 web of strengths and weaknesses.
Seven starters — fire, water, grass, ice, psychic, electric, ground — and eleven more elements to discover.
The world
Thirty unique zones under a living day/night sky — from the cozy streets of Brightroot to the torch-lit dark of The Depths.
Lush starting routes, gloom and swamp — where most journeys begin.
Sunlit shores and coral depths teeming with tide-type life.
High passes and frozen fields that test your team's resolve.
Scorching dunes and molten calderas guarding fierce creatures.
A mystic preserve where the rarest, strangest creatures dwell.
A 20-floor roguelike dungeon — hazards, minibosses and banked rewards.
Clear the gyms and wardens, and a hidden paradise island opens for the most accomplished trainers.
Play together
Log into the shared world and it all happens in real time — no turns waiting, no lobbies.
