Developed by Myco · Published by (Myco)









Guide the Gnorps, small beings focused on accumulating wealth, as they work on a giant rock. Striking it produces shards, the resource that fuels their operation.
Recruit and upgrade Gnorps who damage the rock or retrieve its scattered shards. Add structures and improve your crew as you balance shard production with collection.
Across repeated runs, choose talents, upgrades, and effects to shape your strategy. Different combinations change how your crew works, while resources such as Zybellium and shard-compression events support further progression.
Players who enjoy the game often point to the charming, visible work of the Gnorps, the colorful pixel presentation, and the satisfaction of finding effective upgrade combinations. Some appreciate that it mixes background progress with active strategic choices. Criticism commonly focuses on unclear upgrade effects and builds that can stall a run, along with slow late progression and limited content.
