About This Game

SURVIVE THE RUN. KEEP THE HUNTER.

Slaymeji: Roguelite Desktop Survivor blends a fast, build-driven 2D fantasy bullet heaven roguelite with a companion who keeps you company on your desktop.

Cross a sprawling top-down battlefield as your weapons orbit around you and strike automatically. Move, dash, dodge, and adapt while increasingly dangerous enemies flood the arena—or enable Auto Mode and trust your hunter to fight for survival on their own.

Survive 25 escalating waves, overcome boss checkpoints, and choose whether to end a successful run or push your build into an increasingly lethal Endless Mode.

TAKE CONTROL—OR LET GO

Automatic attacks keep the action flowing while you focus on positioning, timing, and survival.

Use direct controls or click-to-move, dash through closing gaps, and time your dodge's brief invulnerability to escape deadly attacks. Enable Manual Fire whenever you want direct control over every strike.

Want to sit back? Auto Mode handles movement, avoids threats and map edges, searches for health when wounded, performs emergency dodges, chooses upgrades, and keeps the run moving between waves.

BUILD AN ARSENAL THAT FEELS LIKE YOURS

Choose from 50 playable hunters, each with their own stats, weapon capacity, restrictions, and starting loadout. Four are available from the start; the rest can be earned through progression challenges and permanent currency.

Shape your build from 52 melee, ranged, elemental, and area-of-effect weapons. Equip up to eight at once and watch them form a deadly ring around your hunter.

Between waves, visit the shop to:

• Purchase weapons and stat upgrades
• Reroll the available offers
• Lock items for the next shop
• Combine matching weapons into higher tiers
• Recycle unwanted equipment for resources

Mix and match 80 passive items, discover powerful evolution recipes, and choose from 30 upgrade cards across five rarity tiers. Push health, damage, attack speed, movement, critical chance, dodge, and harvesting—or add automatic and retaliatory area attacks that transform your build.

FIGHT THROUGH 25 ESCALATING WAVES

New enemies and stronger variants join the fight as the run progresses. Melee attackers close the distance, ranged enemies pressure you from afar, elemental threats control space, and explosive creatures punish careless positioning.

Break destructible objects for resources and healing while the swarm closes in. Raise the stakes across six Danger Levels, each increasing enemy health and damage.

Complete Wave 25 to finish the main run—or continue into Endless Mode, where enemy strength and spawn pressure keep climbing until your build finally breaks.

A HUNTER WHO LIVES ON YOUR DESKTOP

Leave the battlefield without leaving Slaymeji: Roguelite Desktop Survivor behind.

Your selected hunter becomes a draggable desktop companion who follows your cursor, remembers where you placed them, reacts to your interactions, and shows a range of moods.

Tap your companion for jokes and riddles, receive encouragement after completing tasks, or get a gentle reminder when it might be time to take a break.

Launch the game inside a movable, resizable desktop window. Switch back to companion mode during a run to pause the action, then return exactly where you left off.

TURN REAL TASKS INTO GAME PROGRESS

Create colorful to-do notes on your desktop, place them wherever you like, and check them off as you finish real-life tasks.

Completed tasks make your companion celebrate and reward you with permanent in-game currency. Spend it alongside rewards from progression challenges to unlock more hunters.

Even when you are not fighting, your productivity becomes part of your progression.
