About This Game

BOOT THE CARTRIDGE. CHOOSE YOUR PARTNER. DO NOT EJECT.

Do Not Eject is a retro handheld-inspired bullet heaven roguelite set inside corrupted game cartridges.

Choose a digital partner, survive fast runs, and turn simple attacks into absurd combinations of ricochets, explosions, piercing shots, orbiting weapons, and chain reactions.

BUILD SOMETHING ABSURD

Install Modules that transform how your attacks behave, stack Patches to push your build further, and equip Auxiliary Chips for new elemental interactions.

Every run is another chance to find a combination that breaks the system.

RESCUE YOUR PARTNERS

Each cartridge holds a corrupted creature. Defeat its guardian to restore it and add a new playable partner to your collection.

Every partner brings a unique weapon, passive, upgrades, and new build possibilities.

EVERY RUN COUNTS

Collect resources during every attempt to permanently upgrade your partners and the console itself.

Then return to restored cartridges at higher Corruption Levels for tougher enemies, stronger bosses, and greater challenges.
