Primordio

Primordio is a game about chain lightning, Built for the person who wants the chaos of a swarm without the reflex check that usually comes with it. Primordio drops you into a swarm as a drifting wisp instead of a ship you steer with a stick. Drag it where you want to go. Chain lightning does the rest, arcing from enemy to enemy on its own. Early runs are simple. Stick with it. The meta-progression starts stacking, and that's where the game actually opens up. Builds get stranger. Swarms get denser. Then the moment you've been quietly working toward finally lands: you stand still while lightning tears a whole screen apart. It takes a little while to get there. That's by design, and it's worth the runs it takes to arrive. You are a wisp of creation in a futile struggle against life itself. Chain Lightning That Finds Its Own Targets - Drag your wisp through the swarm. The lightning arcs between enemies on its own, no aiming required - Late-game builds turn this into a screen-clearing chain that keeps finding the next target and the next - The payoff is standing still and watching a whole wave come apart in one arc A Slower Burn Than This Genre Usually Allows - No twitch reflexes required. Movement is drag-and-drop, not a dodge-everything gauntlet - The first stretch plays straightforward while your meta-progression builds up underneath it - Stick with it past the early runs and the real power curve opens up fast Deep, Layered Metaprogression Worth Digging Into - Every run banks progress toward permanent upgrades, even the ones that end early - Builds branch enough that two runs rarely play the same way once the tree opens up [incrementaldb_verification: @Philocypher] Season One: New Effects, New Leaderboards, New Reasons to Come Back - Chain lightning now shrinks, breaks apart, and flickers out instead of just fading. Thickness scales to how many chains are left - Fresh leaderboards give returning players and new runs alike something to climb toward - A growing in-game compendium fills in the systems you're curious about, at your own pace Discover the secrets of Primordio.
