.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Hydra Slayer is a Roguelike game focused on one thing: slaying Hydras. It
is inspired by Greek mythology, Dungeon Crawl, MathRL seven day roguelike,
and some mathematical puzzles about brave heroes slaying many headed
beasts. Hydra Slayer features an original combat system, based on
mathematical puzzles. Since Hydra Slayer is a flagship roguelike for
NotEye, the two are distributed together.
