the only reason I play city builder games is to end up building road networks, so I made it the whole game :D

inspired by

1. freeways: but I don't like how it looks looks
2. cities skylines: but I wish it had better road tools
3. mini motorways: but I don't like the time crunch
4. poly bridge: I love the puzzle design
5. zachtronics games: optimization!

what I love about cities skylines: solving traffic problems
what I hate about cities skylines: not being able to make smooth connections

very nervous about "idk if anyone would buy this" but i'm having a ton of fun building it

Hey everyone!

As a HUGE fan of incremental/idle games, I wanted to build one taking my favorite elements from the games I enjoy

This is my first game ever, and I'm still learning this stuff, but wanted to get something out to see if it's worth chasing this concept

the main idea is combining a horde-survival roguelite with incremental elements. the core of the game is built on a chain-reaction engine (hence the name). Each choice matters and you can get some REALLY powerful builds going

Here's the official description:
Cascade is a horde-survival roguelite built around a chain-reaction engine. You pilot an armored mech against an endless bio-horde. Every kill can proc: bursts, forks, chains, and on-death hordes that ripple outward. Stack the right upgrades and a single shot detonates the whole screen.

• Draft a build each run - statuses, procs, and summons that combo off each other
• Permanent tech tree - unlock and shape your arsenal across runs
• Heat system - crank the difficulty for higher stakes and rewards

I'd love for you to try this game and share your feedback. This is an early alpha so it has some rough edges but I still hope it's enjoyable!
