How AI is used

Photographs/paintings from the public domain are used to build the game's art. Most editing is done by me - AI is used in a few cases to clean up low-resolution sources.

About Hand Almighty

THE HAND IS MIGHTIER

Hand Almighty is a roguelike base defence game where you play as a giant hand defending your castle from endless waves of enemies. Slap, smash, flick and obliterate the horde. It’s fast, chaotic, and intentionally ridiculous — can you find the dumbest, most broken combos?

HOW MANY WAYS CAN YOU BREAK THE GAME?

Between waves, shape your run by choosing upgrades, powers, defences and minions that stack, combine, and spiral into absurd synergies. Each run becomes a puzzle of optimisation and risk as you chase powerful combos and compete on the leaderboards for the fastest times to complete a run.
