TASMON: Taskbar Monsters Monsters that fight while you work

The whole game runs in your taskbar. Your party of three battles on its own, collecting chests, coins and the occasional egg while you get on with your day. Check in now and then to retune the team, swap gear or hunt for better rolls, then leave it be again.

It stays light on your machine too: minimized, it uses a fraction of a percent of your CPU, so it can hum along behind spreadsheets, code or other games without you noticing. Battles, drops and results are all logged, so a quick look tells you whether your healer actually earned their keep.

One honest catch: eggs drop rarely at first, so new monsters come slowly in the early hours. It picks up in harder stages.

There are 156+ species to hatch, across ten rarity tiers from Common up to Celestial. The rarest tiers hold the fewest species, so chasing one specific monster stays worth the effort. Each monster evolves twice on the way up, and duplicates feed the awakening ladder: same-species pairs guarantee a stage, off-species ones are a shard-based roll.

Max out Awakening VI and something special happens: your monster ascends into a Soul-Sealed Weapon, a one-of-a-kind armament stamped with its own serial number. No other copy exists anywhere in the world. Gear adds its own layer of fusing, re-rolling and etching, and every drop rate is disclosed in-game, so the odds you chase are the odds you see.
