Rogue Tap is a fusion of classic wack-a-mole gameplay in the style of a rogue-lite. Use your own speed, endurance, and accuracy to tap away the enemies before they drain your health. But that won’t be enough to get through all 55 waves of enemies and bosses. You’ll need to use the coins you gain by completing each wave to upgrade your stats. Defeat is Imminent! -Each time you are defeated, you start back at the first wave. You will face constant defeat, that is the nature of a rogue-lite, but the farther you progress the more coins you will earn to upgrade and reach higher waves. Features: -Challenging Gameplay: difficulty increases each wave and within the wave itself as you attempt to complete it. -Boss Fights: use your skill and wit to tackle the unique bosses. -Upgrade System: the system allows you to upgrade the skills that fit your gameplay style. All upgrades available from the start so choose what you want, when you want. -Powers: use your two powers to assist in battle. -Game Save: your progress automatically saves after every wave so play at your convenience. -Awesome soundtrack that gets you in the mood to tap.
