Skip it if you…

Our take on Hero Go
Rather than using a standard action-game control scheme, Hero Go places combat inside a greedy-snake structure. Direction changes are limited to 90-degree turns, while the hero group attacks automatically. Team growth, auras, items, and revivals add progression to the familiar movement pattern.
What is Hero Go?
Three girls enter a fantasy world populated by heroes and villains from other game worlds.
Hero Go combines traditional greedy-snake movement with team growth and combat. Players turn the leader by 90 degrees, guide the group around barriers, collect coins and objects, and let heroes automatically attack enemies within range. The leader’s death ends the game. Sixteen heroes can be upgraded with coins, while a selected leader directs each battle. Coins also upgrade four team auras covering attack, speed, defense, and treatment. Chests, medicines, experience items, magnets, bombs, freezing effects, coins, shields, and speed items appear during play. Temporary buffs disappear when a game ends, and the leader can be revived by spending coins.
