# Abattlacus

> A roguelike autobattler fought on an abacus, where every row is an equation.

Abattlacus is a roguelike autobattler by FunB4nan played on an abacus: you buy beads that act as fighters and archers, arrange them in rows, pair them with artifacts, and watch the battles resolve. Wins add to your earnings, losses subtract money and lives, and a Fairy bead turns a row's addition into multiplication. It plays free in the browser with a mouse.

## About Abattlacus

Between battles you spend your rewards on new beads and artifacts, then slide them into position: fighters up front, archers behind, abilities combined for synergy. Each row of the abacus becomes a sum, so where you place a bead changes both the fight and the payout. A run lasts a few minutes, and the roguelike structure means a fresh set of choices each time.

The abacus conceit is the hook, turning positioning into arithmetic in a way autobattlers rarely do. It was made in 72 hours for Ludum Dare 60 and the page labels it a prototype, so expect a small roster and lively balance debates in the comments, where one player swears by the Pencil and the developer by the Fairy. It suits players who like shop-and-fight autobattler loops in bite-size runs.
