Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Match Shot Chimera will be developed with your feedback in mind! The initial release will feature three full levels and multiple unlockable characters, but I'd like to keep going from there! Early Access will help me gather feedback to help improve the game and decide what to add in future releases.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game is planned to be in Early Access for a few months to a year.”

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

“The full version is planned to have more levels, unlockable characters, and shops where you can buy items to customize your build during a run.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is coming soon. It will feature three level styles, each with multiple minibosses and bosses. Levels are randomly generated and there will be plenty of persistent upgrades and unlockable characters to tinker with, so that should give you a lot to play with. Multiple unlockable characters will be available in the first Early Access release.”

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

“The game's price will probably go up as the game expands, and after Early Access.”

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

“The community's reception and feedback for this game will help determine where development goes from here. Get in touch on Discord, the Steam forums, Bluesky, email, wherever! The sort of gameplay, characters and bosses players respond to most will make a big difference in what I add next!”

About This Game

Match Shot Chimera is a match-3 shoot 'em up with roguelite elements.

Match-3 to deal big damage and collect XP for leveling up your chimera's abilities, all while dodging a wild array of enemies and bullets!

Unlock persistent upgrades and unlock new characters to try different play-styles and get further on your next run.

Vertical shoot 'em up gameplay - Dodge through a bullet hell while powering up your weapons to bring down massive and bizarre match-block filled bosses.

Match-3 to make enemies go boom - Enemies drop colored puzzle blocks. Match-3 to blow things up and get XP.

Varied Upgrades - From exploding shot, new bullet patterns, and healing puzzle matches to shooting fatter, slower bullets, there are plenty of different upgrades to make your chimera's next build unique.

Different weapons for every block color - Hold different blocks to shoot beam weapons, exploding bomb shot, homing missiles, and more. Switch at will to change weapons, match colors, and use your powers.Varied

Multiple characters - Choose from multiple chimeras with different powers, stats and weapons. Focus-fire, drop shields, launch drones, and more!

Randomized Levels - Varied levels are generated from hand-crafted blocks full of hand-tested randomizations. Each level has a different style, and is populated with a different pool of enemies, mini-bosses and bosses.

Play again and again - Tough shoot 'em up gameplay and bullet dodging will demand skill and quick thinking. But dying is just the beginning of another run where you can try again with different builds and strategies.

Persistent Upgrades - Collect ichor during runs and save up to upgrade your abilities, unlock new characters and change the structure of the levels themselves.

Controller support - Fluid controls support just about any joypad you can plug in, or keyboards! Mice, too, if you're into that.

Original Soundtrack - A sweet suite of squelchy crunching beats, custom-made to blast to.

Alien Mechanovirus Typhon has invaded the Earth. Biochimera Jeremy is our final hope.

I also make web comics, so the story looks like this sometimes! It has a bit of heart, and a bit of eldritch mechanical horror making crude copies of the world it's devouring.
