The frontier has a monster problem, a bandit problem, and apparently a "your life expectancy" problem. Survive the horde, loot the General Store, and die with style. Refunds not available. Neither is mercy.

Feature List

They Are Not Friendly is now available to wishlist. Grab your rifle, hold the line, and find out how long you last against a horde that doesn't quit.

👉 Wishlist now to get notified the moment the frontier opens.

They Are Many. You Are One. Survive waves of enemies that outnumber you in ways that should be illegal.

  • The General Store Doesn't Care About Your Feelings. Spend your hard-earned cash on upgrades because you'll need them.

  • Five Perks. Zero Guarantees. Pick your build. The horde won't respect it.

  • Milestones, Because Someone Has to Reward You. Survive long enough and get something for it. Rare in life, common here.

  • Your Progress Persists. Your Dignity May Not. Permanent upgrades across runs — the horde resets, your gear doesn't.

  • 30,000 Enemies at 140 FPS. We don't know why either, but it runs great.

About This Game

They Are Not Friendly is a pixel-art horde survival game for anyone who's ever thought

"I bet I could take on  thousand Monsters at once" and needed somewhere to test that theory.

Survive an Absolutely Unreasonable Number of Enemies They keep coming.
We don't know why. Neither do they, probably. Dodge, shoot, panic gracefully.

Use Super Powers and more

Stack perks and upgrades mid-run until you're less "greenhorn" and more "regional emergency." Results may vary. Results will probably not vary.

The General Store: Now Slightly Understocked on Miracles

Spend your hard-earned loot on five permanent upgrades. The store cannot promise you'll survive. The store can promise you'll survive slightly better than last time, which is honestly all any of us can ask for.

Die. Get an Itemized Receipt. Try Again.

Every death comes with a full, humiliatingly detailed payout screen, so you know exactly how many bullets, bandages, and bad decisions it took to get you here. Educational, in a sense.

They are not friendly. You, however, can be extremely rude back.
