Nif Nif takes inspiration from Slay The Spire, but creates a more child friendly, bright, wholesome deck-building game about cleaning up filthy animals.
There are a few playable animals to pick from, but Nif Nif‘s art centers around a cute little pig. Each of the different animals have their own decks, cards that can be unlocked, and ways of play depending on your preference.
The game itself is quite simple at a glance. There is a map showing you some areas you can choose to go next. At most of these levels, an animal will appear who’s covered in nasty ooze. This goop has made them hostile, lashing out at you even though you are trying to help. You’ll need to use your cards to clean off these animals while keeping yourself pristine despite all of the mess flying around from attacks.
Playing cards often costs energy (although there are a handful that don’t) with each card having its own ability. Some have you cleaning the other animal, others have you increasing your shield by clean..
