About

Penmire

Features
Read full description

A shadow-breaker drowned the land, and then the dead rose. Penmire is a horde-survival roguelite set deep in the mire. You're a small ink creature against waves that fill the screen โ€” and every run is a puzzle in becoming stronger than the thing hunting you. โ–  ONE THUMB, FULL ACTION Your weapons fire automatically. Your job is movement: reading the crowd, avoiding the pinch, dodging at the right moment. No complex controls โ€” just reflex and positioning. โ–  FROM FRAGILE TO DEVASTATING You start with a single weapon. Every level-up offers three choices; weapons feed each other, passives multiply them. Find the right combination and the screen starts clearing itself โ€” and you'll be chasing that moment every run. โ–  NO TWO RUNS ALIKE Feather Sigils shape your run before it even begins. Cursed Moons rewrite the rules โ€” some reward you, others turn survival into a real fight. No two runs feel the same. โ–  BOSSES AND RELICS The lords of the mire come at you with telegraphed attacks โ€” learn to read them and you live, miss them and you're crushed. Beat one and the chest opens: pick a relic that fundamentally changes how your run plays. โ–  INK BURST When you're cornered, you have one card left to play. A burst of ink that throws everything back โ€” used at the right moment, it saves a run you'd already lost. โ–  ENDLESS MODE Beat the lord of the mire and endless mode opens. Now your only rival is your own record โ€” and records are made to break. โ–  PLAY ANYWHERE, OFFLINE No internet required. On the train, on a flight, in a queue โ€” open it and play. โ–  NO FORCED ADS No mandatory ads, no interruptions. Watch one if you want to continue after death or earn an extra pick โ€” skip it and you'll never see one. Entirely your choice. Available in English and Turkish.
