StreakForge blends fast wave survival with a quest board you actually want to clear. Jump into the Forge, move with the joystick, and let your weapon swing toward nearby threats, then survive long enough to earn the next round of upgrade cards. FORGE RUNS THAT ESCALATE • Enemies arrive in waves; each clear pushes the run forward. • Between waves, choose upgrade cards that reshape damage, survivability, speed, life, and more. • Face tougher patterns and boss pressure as you go deeper. • Training options let you practice without the same pressure as a live run. QUESTS + STREAKS = MOMENTUM • Complete quests from the Quests tab when objectives are met. • Keep a daily streak for bragging rights and watch for streak multipliers and helpful items. • Your streak and profile progress are designed to reward showing up consistently. GEAR, WORLDS, AND LONG-TERM GOALS • Equip gear that feeds into your Forge stats. • Explore multiple worlds with different pacing and constraints. • Chase achievements and shop items that support your preferred playstyle. PREMIUM • StreakForge is free to play with optional in-app purchases. • Premium includes quality-of-life perks: a free in-run revive, training mode, higher quest limits, swipe-to-delete on the quest board, save-and-exit on Forge runs, hoarding energy above the cap, bonus coin and gem drops from Forge enemies, and a reroll on each Forge upgrade pick (the free tier gets one reroll per run where rerolls are enabled).
