Pixel Knight Auto
Watch a pixel knight auto-grind through zones while you tap to add him to the leaderboard — sleep-mode style.
Tap to spawn a knight who auto-attacks the next monster in line; monsters grant upgrades; knight auto-sells junk, returns to town, keeps grinding forever; you only tap to advance zones or bank.
Tap to spend gold to advance one zone; tap-and-hold to activate premium auto-loop; passive otherwise.
Echoes the source's 'wake up to grind report' fantasy in a fully passive, one-thumb wrapper.
Revival of Addiction launched 21 hours ago and itch idle fans are rediscovering 2000s MMOs; reskinning that fantasy into a hypercasual tapper rides the nostalgic wave.
