TINY RUN is a deckbuilder roguelite for the Super Nintendo by VS Games. This is the 512 KB competition cartridge: a FastROM LoROM build that plays on real hardware with a flash cart, or in your favorite SNES emulator.

One act, one deck

Each run takes you through Act 1 – Whisperwood, a forest map of branching routes:

• Fights against Slimes, Beetles, Dinos and Hounds, with a card draft after each win
• Rest sites, events, and the occasional optional risk fight
• A shop to buy a card, remove a weak one, or save your gold
• The Bog Knight Frog elite, who guards a relic
• The boss, the Heartleaf Treant

Every run is seeded, so routes, drafts, shops and relics change each time.

Combat

Play cards with your energy, read the enemy's intent, and build block before it hits. Cards deal damage, block, heal, draw and apply Weak, Vulnerable, Burn, Frost and Stun. The first battle teaches each element with short tutorial panels.

Modes

NEW RUN (CONTINUE resumes a run in progress until you power off)

Every run starts as the Wanderer, and every power-on starts fresh, because the competition cartridge has no save RAM.
