Game Description
Built as a submission for the TARC 2025 hacking contest, the game completely shifts away from standard Pokémon progression to deliver an arcade-style, tactical battle puzzle experience. The storyline follows a humorous and high-stakes premise: on the morning of your Ascendancy Exam to impress the gods, you oversleep. Now, your only chance at success is a single, unleveling Pokémon that possesses no moves, paired with cursed luck that guarantees you experience the worst possible outcome in every battle.
