I've always subscribed to the game design philosophy of maximizing depth while minimizing complexity.

In primordio, movement is simple, you drag and drop yourself where you want to be, navigating through hordes. Combat is simple, while idle, your lightning reaches out to the nearest target. You can click to discharge a thunderstrike at that location and manually aim your chain lightning. Your shield and thunderstrike charges are the same, so you are trading your security bubble for increased and willful damage.

You select simple level upgrades during runs and purchase metaprogression between runs.

Metaprogression is where things get complex. The meta board is a series of runes. Once maxed, you can use those runes to inscribe words for individual runs, for a price. Those secrets slowly reveal themselves to you as you push through.

I've learned that I'm a much better game designer than I am a video producer...
