About game
Fans of chaotic survival will find a new obsession in Emelya vs Koschei. You sit on a magical stove while it tears through hordes of swamp creatures and fairytale nightmares. Since the oven fires weapons automatically, your only job involves dodging enemies and picking the right upgrades. Every single minute forces you to handle tougher monsters until the clock hits fifteen minutes. You collect blue gems to choose new gear like samovars or balalaikas that evolve into powerful tools of destruction. Finding the hidden needle to defeat the immortal villain adds a layer of depth to every run. Permanent upgrades waiting in the hut make your next attempt slightly easier after you fail. You can jump into this pixelated roguelite right now in your browser without any downloads required.
How to play
Phone: slide your finger anywhere on the screen and the stove follows. The Smoke button at the bottom right drops a smoke screen. Computer: WASD or arrow keys to drive, Space for smoke, Esc to pause.
Weapons fire on their own. Collect blue gems to level up and pick one of three cards. Watch the stove's heat: logs from woodpiles keep it burning, and pies heal you. A level 6 weapon plus its paired item and a boss chest turns into an evolution.
The goal is to survive for 15 minutes. In the finale Koschei is immortal: the hint under his health bar leads you to the oak, then catch the hare and the duck with the stove and grab the egg. The needle breaks and Koschei can be defeated. If the stove goes cold, you keep your gold: upgrade Emelya in the hut and ride out again.
