Vile Vials is a boss rush game, where vials fight with each other in a fantasy-like universe. They gather around each week in the Vials Arena, where the magic takes place. In this same universe, magical elements coexist, and vials use their power to assert their dominance in the arena. These elements counter each other, so they must be used wisely for one to dominate in the Vials Arena.

Come in, and test your skills, while playing as one of the nascent challengers of the Vials Universe.

How To Play

The goal of the game is to pick up countering elements from your adversary (i.e. the boss), and exchange those, for the one you currently have. This is a matter of choice and fast-paced calculations, in order to ensure that you always have the upper hand.

The element you own will be consumed at some point, so you have to be ready to exchange for the next viable option. Elements counter each other by doubling the attack damage that they deal on an adversary with a dominated element. If no element is selected, you will enter the neutral state, which is pretty much dominated by any other element in the chart, so make sure to always do the right exchanges, at the right time, in order to dominate and not be dominated by your adversary's element.
