A survivor roguelite where you steer a scrap-metal snake through hordes of machines. Its weapons fire on their own, and where they sit on the head, body or tail changes how they fire.

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“COILBREAKER can be played from start to finish. I want your feedback to tune the first stage and the base weapons before adding more.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“About a year. Version 1.0 comes out with two new stages.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“During Early Access: a balancing pass on the first stage and the base weapons, then a second stage, the Foundry. For version 1.0: two new stages, new weapons and new bosses.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“One stage for now, the Scrapyard, with its bosses. The second, the Foundry, will be added in a later update. 13 snakes, 15 weapons and 87 Steam achievements; in ten languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean and Simplified Chinese. A run lasts about 20 minutes.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes. The price will go up when version 1.0 comes out.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Through the Steam forums and the patch notes. A beta branch lets you try changes before everyone else. The game keeps a log of each run on your PC and sends nothing; you can attach it to a bug report.”

About This Game



COILBREAKER is a survivor roguelite: you steer, your weapons fire on their own. Your snake is a convoy of scrap: a head, body blocks and a tail. At each level-up you pick a weapon, a rank or a passive, and where to bolt each new weapon. A machine gun on the head fires ahead of you; on the tail, it fires behind.



The horde keeps growing and bosses arrive on schedule. Between runs, you spend your scrap in the garage and unlock other snakes and weapons.




Early Access starts with one stage, the Scrapyard. The second, the Foundry, will be added in a later update.
