"If you pick up an apple first, it's too late to make it tasty."

Welcome to Apple Theory, a hardcore Roguelike / Deck-building game where magic follows the rules of syntax. You are a student, Hikoron , trapped in a glitchy 2D world, armed only with a wand and a sarcastic Guide Cat.

Your goal? Write your own attacks.

🍎 The "Apple Theory" Mechanic

In this world, a spell is a sentence.

  • Trigger (Noun): The bullet itself (e.g., Spark Bolt).
  • Modifier (Adjective): How it behaves (e.g., Damage Up, Homing, Orbit).
  • Multicast (Quantifier): Fire multiple spells at once!

Just like language, order matters. Place [Fire] before [Ball] to cast a Fireball. Stack [Double Cast], [Homing], and [Pierce] to create a screen-clearing calamity, and other builds with 32^10=1,125,899,906,842,624 possiblities!

✨ Key Features

  • Deep Construction System: Over 30+ Basic Spells,  20+ enemies, 12 SKINS , 20+ Runes and 8 comics. Build wands that act like shotguns, lasers, or other combinations.
  • 35,000+ Lines of Dedication: A labor of love developed over 3 months, featuring complex interactions and polished mechanics.
  • Hardcore Bosses: Face the Skeleton King, the UFO, and the Eye of Truth. Each requires a different strategic build to defeat.
  • Monster Arena (E.V.E.): Unlock the Entity Virtual Experiment. Step out of the line of fire and become the architect. Freely spawn any discovered units, assign them to Red or Blue factions, and simulate chaotic battles. Whether you want to analyze enemy AI or just watch a massive free-for-all, this sandbox is yours to command.
