The Simplest Game in the Universe

Combat and strategy

The Simplest Game in the Universe is a PC game based on Magic Tower-style games. You touch a monster to resolve combat, with damage calculated as attack minus defense. Attack and defense are the only core combat stats.

You start with 1 attack and 0 defense. Both stats grow as you play, but neither final value exceeds 100. The game uses small numbers for its stats while building its progression around their growth.
