Axo Survivors

You are a very small axolotl in a very dangerous pond. Drag one thumb to swim. Your weapons fire themselves. Everything else — where you swim, what you build, when you dodge — is on you. Survive ten minutes, then meet whatever has been waiting at the bottom. A DIFFERENT RUN EVERY TIME Six weapons, six evolutions, eight passives and twelve branching upgrades. Every level-up deals you three cards: pierce your bubbles or split them, widen your tail spin or speed it up. Take a weapon all the way and it evolves into something that redraws the whole screen. THREE PONDS THAT ASK DIFFERENT QUESTIONS Sunlit Shallows teaches you to move. Murky Depths closes in from both banks and leaves exactly one lane of clear water — read it or get pinned. Moonlit Marsh takes the sky instead: the water lights up where something is about to land, and you need to already be moving when it does. Then there is Endless, which simply keeps going until you stop. BOSSES THAT SHOW THEIR HAND Every attack tells you first. The Heron's shadow. The Catfish's pull. The Bullfrog King's shadow marking the exact spot he is coming down on. If it hits you, you could have seen it coming — that is the deal. TEN MINUTES, THEN SOMETHING TO SHOW FOR IT Coins become permanent upgrades. Nine axolotl morphs to collect. Daily quests, chests, and Mastery Trials — short drills that test one skill and hand back bronze, silver or gold. NO ADS. NO IN-APP PURCHASES. NO INTERNET NEEDED. Not a demo, not a trial. The whole game, offline, forever. One thumb. Ten minutes. Good luck down there.
