Clear the room, then rebuild your run.
Not just aim and shoot. You race the clock through rooms, and the time you save becomes currency to buy cards and rebuild your weapon mid-run. Loved in Japan at 99 percent, but the UI has no English, so the West cannot read it yet.

01First, the one feeling
- Every room is a sprint: speed, precision, and chained eliminations all feed your score.
- But the run is not fixed. The seconds you bank turn into cards, and you read your build and rebuild your weapon on the fly.
- When a build you assembled between rooms shreds a harder stage, a chill runs down your spine.
02Who this is for (and who it is not)
For you
- You love deckbuilding roguelites like Slay the Spire but want to execute the build in real time
- You like score-attack FPS where speed and accuracy compound
- You want a Japanese solo-dev gem the West has barely read, walled off by a Japanese-only UI
Not for you
- You need an English UI right now (it is Japanese-only, the wall is language)
- You want slow turn-based building, not a real-time time-attack shooter

Shooters, Ready! Buried gem
A Japanese solo-dev FPS roguelite where you clear rooms against the clock, then spend leftover time buying cards to rebuild your weapon mid-run. Overwhelmingly Positive in Japan at 741 reviews and 99 percent, but its UI has no English, so the West has barely found it.
Give it your first passSlay the Spire The origin
The origin of building your run with cards, reading what you have and choosing what to play. This gem keeps that build-a-run craft but makes you execute it in real time, buying cards between rooms to rebuild your weapon on the fly.
