Noita (Video Game)
Noita (listen 
) is a magical action rogue-lite video game set in a world where every pixel is physically simulated. Fight, explore, melt, burn, freeze and evaporate your way through the procedurally generated world using wands you've created yourself.
Noita is inspired by underground classics such as Liero (listen ), falling sand games, and modern roguelike-likes, -lites and -lite-like-lites.
