Trust No Empty Stomach
Nobody wins alone.
Just No One — that's what they called us. Not heroes. Not legends. Just a ragtag mob of viking, baggers, sumos, and the occasional zombie who wandered into the wrong camp.
Trust No Empty Stomach
is a top-down auto-battler where you build your crew, manage your economy, and watch your team brawl through endless waves of enemies — without lifting a finger in combat. Strategy happens in the shop. Chaos happens in the arena.
You're not the hero. You're the coach.
Features
- Auto-combat — drop your fighters and let them handle business
- Shop phase — buy new characters, grab stat-boosting items, or activate powerful abilities between waves
- Gacha recruitment — roll for new team members and build your ideal roster
- Wave survival — waves get harder; your team needs to get smarter
- Corn economy — every kill earns, every wave rewards, every bad round costs you
How to Play
The Loop: Each run alternates between two phases — Shop and Arena.
Shop Phase
- Browse 4 random items for sale — buy characters, stat boosts, or active items
- Hit Reroll (costs Corn🌽) to refresh the shop offers
- Spin the wheel to recruit new fighters
- When your team is ready, hit "Start Wave"
Arena Phase
- Your characters fight automatically — sit back and watch
- Characters seek the nearest enemy, attack in range, and find a new target when one dies
- Win the wave → earn Corn🌽 as reward
- Each enemy killed also drops Corn🌽
Items
- Stat Boosts — permanent passive upgrades applied to your whole team
- Active Items — activate with keys 1–4 during combat for a burst effect
- Character items — spawn a new fighter directly onto the field
Hungry Fighters = Angry Fighters Your team needs Corn🌽 to eat at the start of each Arena phase. Run out of Corn → characters go unfed → they get angry → angry enough and they switch sides. Feed your team.
Tips
- Drag characters around the arena to reposition them before the wave starts
- Keep enough Corn buffer to feed everyone next round
- A dead ally makes teammates angrier — protect your weakest fighters
