"MageTrain: Fast-Paced Pixel Roguelike Now on Android"

Tidepool Games has just launched an exciting new fast-paced pixel art game for Android enthusiasts called **MageTrain**. If you're familiar with Nimble Quest, you'll find MageTrain strikingly reminiscent, drawing heavy inspiration from it.

What's MageTrain Like?

**MageTrain** blends elements of Snake, auto-battlers, and roguelikes into a thrilling experience. You guide a line of heroes, snake-like, as they automatically attack while you maneuver them through an arena. Your task is to strategically manage their positions to avoid collisions with enemies or obstacles, ensuring optimal use of their unique abilities based on their position in the line.

At launch, the game features nine heroes, each with distinct skills that vary depending on whether they're leading the charge or supporting from behind. One quirky hero even throws birds! As you navigate through eight varied dungeons, you'll encounter 28 different enemy types and have access to 30 skills to enhance your team's capabilities. Along your journey, you'll collect gold and power-ups to boost your progress.

Thanks to its roguelike structure, each playthrough of **MageTrain** offers unique challenges. You'll explore branching paths, make critical upgrade decisions, and strive to survive as long as possible. The game's structure echoes popular titles like **Slay the Spire** or **FTL**, where there are no fixed levels and no option to save progress. Every mistake, whether it's bumping into an obstacle or being overrun by enemies, means starting anew.

It Isn't Slow-Paced

The charm of **MageTrain** lies in the continuous improvement you experience with each run, even if you don't succeed. You'll quickly learn when to play defensively, when to go on the offensive, and when to simply survive for another 30 seconds.

**MageTrain** is now available for free on Android, so don't miss out—check it out on the Google Play Store.
