About This Demo

Try out Match Shot Chimera's explosive match-3 shoot 'em up gameplay in this demo! This is a preview of the full game, which is still in development. I'd love your feedback!

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!

In the full version you'll unlock persistent upgrades and new characters to try different play-styles and get further on your next run.

The full version will have:

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 - Find grids of colored blocks in enemies and the world. 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 blocks to shoot beam weapons, exploding bomb shot, or homing missiles. Switch at will to change weapons, match colors, and use your powers.

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

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.
