description

lumia ☆ savior is a pixel-art horde survival game about a very small angel with a very big sense of entitlement. the heavenly realm is under siege, and lumia has been asked, politely, to do something about it. she moves; her weapons fire by themselves at whatever is nearest; the monsters keep coming until she decides they are done.

runs come in two shapes. wave mode is fifteen numbered waves with a boss at every fifth, a curve that was tuned by watching real people play and adjusting until it stopped being a stroll. endless mode is the original survive-as-long-as-you-can, ranked on time. both have their own online leaderboard. between runs there is a shop, a gacha of companions who fight beside her, a wardrobe of hand-drawn outfits, and a casino she insists is optional.

history

the game began in 2026 as a solo project, built from scratch in vanilla javascript rather than an engine, and grew from a browser prototype into desktop builds. every sprite is pixel art drawn at native resolution and displayed at native resolution; the studio has a rule about it. cherubling, the studio, was named after one of the game's bosses, a cherub who sulks when he loses.

features

• auto-firing weapons that pair with passives into evolved forms
