What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I'm a hobbyist indie developer, early access is by far the best way for me to get feedback and improve the game before release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“3-6 months”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version will include numerous secret levels and ships to unlock, steam achievements and leaderboards. Several of these are already planned and in development, but there's no limit to how many we can have, so feel free to pitch your ideas to us - that's the point of the early access after all!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The early access version is fully playable with six levels, four ships with unique special weapons and thirteen normal weapons.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Price will increase upon the release of the full version, in line with other similar games (so approximately double the current price).”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“In addition to gameplay balance feedback, we really want to hear ideas for additional weapons, ships and levels. These suggestions during early access will likely end up being the bulk of the final game's content and all suggestions used in the final product will get an entry in the completed game's credits page. The story setting is wide open for crazy technology so pitch us your biggest ideas and we'll implement as many as we can.

About This Game

Side-scrolling, retro 2D shoot'em'up with rogue-lite elements. Upgrade your ship throughout each mission with a random selection of a wide range of weapons and power-ups against constantly tougher enemies. Survivors-style, reverse-bullet-hell game taken back to its roots.

Quick missions across a variety of environments, from deep space to volcanic caves, against a hoard of ever stronger foes. Collect resources from defeated enemies to upgrade your ship temporarily inside the mission and unlock permanent global boosts afterwards.

Each mission will pit you against waves of bosses as well as hordes of weaker cannon fodder. Every boss is composed of several sections, each of them individually targetable and destructible. Do well enough to trigger that mission's unique final boss.

Four different player ships are unlockable through the core missions, each with their own unique and powerful special weapon, but more ships and secret levels can be found via hidden achievements.

Features a unique vector graphics style for a colourful but retro feel, and a professionally-made synthwave soundtrack.
