A pool-building roguelike deckbuilder. You draw cards, but never build a deck. Line units across 3 lanes and weave 49 units into 21 synergies. Damage stacks in three layers—Base × Combo × Resonance—and the deeper you specialize, the harder it explodes. Three classes, one pool to sharpen.

<h2 class="bb_tag" >No deck. Just the pool. Sharpen it.</h2>You don't win with the cards you draw. You win with how you place them.<br>You draw cards — but you never build a deck.<br>In MindGate, what you do is <strong>compress your pool</strong>.<br>Pick from a hand of 8, line your units across 3 lanes, and weave synergies.<br>Your units do the fighting. You decide the battle through placement and preparation.<h2 class="bb_tag" >What is pool-building?</h2>A deckbuilder is a game about <strong>adding</strong> cards.<br>MindGate is the opposite — a game about <strong>cutting</strong> the cards you don't need.<br>Your pool is fixed from the start. The more you compress it, the purer your hand, the more stable your synergies, the bigger your combos explode.<br>It's not about <strong>what you draw</strong> — it's about <strong>what you keep</strong>. That's everything.<h2 class="bb_tag" >Three layers of explosion</h2>Damage stacks through three multipliers.<br><strong>Base × Combo × Resonance</strong><br>Combo accumulates as you push through each wave.<br>Resonance grows the deeper you specialize into a synergy.<br>Half-committed builds stay weak. Mastered builds detonate.<h2 class="bb_tag" >3 waves, 3 lanes</h2>Each battle runs up to 3 waves. Units and field carry over between them.<br>Your early placement decides the late-game explosion.<br>The field starts at 3 slots, growing by one each turn up to 9.<br>Early on it's about choices; later it's about board design. The same game transforms turn after turn.<h2 class="bb_tag" >49 units × 21 synergies</h2>7 origins × 7 classes = 49 distinct units.<br>Synergies number 21 in total: 7 origin, 7 class, and 7 hidden duos.<br>Hold the same cards, arrange them differently, and you're playing a different game.<br><strong>Synergies activate across 3–4 tiers.</strong><br>The deeper you specialize, the harder the effects spike and the higher resonance climbs.<br>Every unit carries its own passive skill, combining with synergies to create unique strengths.<h2 class="bb_tag" >Three classes, three games</h2><strong>Commander</strong> — a straight-ahead leader who marshals the field and stacks combos efficiently.<br><strong>Magus</strong> — an unorthodox solver who tunes synergies at blistering speed with skills and magic.<br><strong>Merchant</strong> — builds the board through a gold-and-relic economy all its own.<br>The same 49 units, three completely different experiences.<h2 class="bb_tag" >Explore and grow</h2>A map spanning 4 areas, procedurally generated — a different route every run.<br>Buy relics, equipment, and skills at the <strong>shop</strong>.<br>Let <strong>events</strong> steer the fate of your build through their choices.<br><strong>Elite enemies</strong> hit hard, but beating them yields powerful rewards.<h2 class="bb_tag" >Grind. Upgrade. Run again.</h2><br>Gear drops after battles. Defeat a boss and the chest is guaranteed — rarity is up to luck.<br>Four slots: weapon, armor, two accessories.<br>Effects range from ATK and synergy strength to hand size and gold — cutting straight to the heart of your pool.<br><br>Break down extras into materials. Craft. Upgrade.<br>Gear doesn't disappear when you die.<br>Keep challenging. Build something that's entirely your own.<h2 class="bb_tag" >Mind Layers — at your own pace</h2>From the base difficulty up through Mind Layers 1 to 10.<br>Constraints and enemy strength ramp step by step, so beginners and veterans alike can challenge at a level that fits them.<br>Conquer Mind Layer 10, and you stand where only those who truly understand this game can see.<h2 class="bb_tag" >Content at a glance</h2><ul class="bb_ul"><li> Units: 49 (all with original art)<br></li><li> Synergies: 21 (7 origin + 7 class + 7 duo)<br></li><li> Relics: 127<br></li><li> Augments: 83<br></li><li> Equipment: 35<br></li><li> Skills: 26<br></li><li> Events: 37<br></li><li> Mind Layer difficulties: 10<br></li><li> Run structure: 4 areas × 16 battles × up to 3 waves</li></ul><h2 class="bb_tag" >About Early Access</h2>MindGate is currently in Early Access.<br><strong>What's included at EA launch</strong><br>A high-completion build with everything in place: all 16 battles / 3 classes / 49 units / 10 Mind Layers / 127 relics / 83 augments.<br><strong>Planned updates</strong><br><ul class="bb_ul"><li> EA +4 months: Endless Mode<br></li><li> EA +8 months: Synergy Trial + English localization (alpha)<br></li><li> EA +12 months: v1.0 (daily challenges, full achievements, complete English)</li></ul>
