Don’t PANIC!

At its heart, this is a personal passion project. I've poured my creativity and effort into every system of this tactical space shooter, building a solid foundation for a vast journey. Rather than listing distant promises, I’m committed to delivering meaningful, frequent updates that steadily expand the universe. The foundation is strong, and the future is bright - No rush. No compromises. Step by step.  

The Core Loop: Survive the Escalation

Pilot your customizable combat ship in an open, seamless arena. Your goal is simple: survive, adapt, and outlast.

But the longer you stay in the sector, the more intense the pressure becomes. Enemies arrive faster and grow more dangerous.

The Threat Level is the heart of the experience. It controls enemy aggression, the scale of reinforcements, and directly drives the dynamic soundtrack that escalates with combat intensity (music by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio).

Combat: Tactics, Chaos, and Control

This is a fast-paced symphony of destruction where you are always outnumbered. Survival demands constant motion, sharp evasion, and smart arsenal management.

• Armor is a Puzzle: Every enemy has an armor level. Match your weapon's penetration to the target, or watch your shots ricochet in a spectacular—but wasteful—light show.

• Adapt or Be Overwhelmed: Choose between your Plasma Blaster, Autocannon or Lasercutter, and switch ammo types on the fly. Spam Smart Rockets into crowds, break locks with Flares, or use Energy Shield to deflect projectiles.

• Fire Control System provides a target lead indicator and armor readout—use it to make every shot count.

What's In the Game Now? (Early Access Foundation)

The core gameplay is implemented and highly replayable. The current version includes:

• A massive 10×10 sector arena with no loading screens

• Skill-based combat featuring armor penetration and ricochets

• A dynamic Threat Level system that makes the world react to your actions

• Flexible ship customization: primary and secondary weapons, defensive systems

• Varied enemies: fast interceptors, heavily armored units, missile platforms, and suicide drones

• Environmental hazards: damaging gas clouds that disable modules and chaotic wormholes

• Player progression: experience, levels, and stat upgrades

• A store for repairs, fuel, ammunition, and a firing range to test new weapons

A Game Made to Be Played. 

As a lifelong gamer, I built Don’t PANIC! with the same passion I feel when diving into my favourite titles. It’s not just my project — it’s my contribution to the community I’m part of. I hope you’ll feel that joy in every bullet‑hell moment and tactical decision you make.

Early Access is an opportunity to play a solid, working foundation and watch the game grow: more content, more mechanics, more ways to die… and survive.

If you enjoy arcade shooters, intense action, and constant danger — welcome aboard.
