About This Game

SPACEL is a roguelite space shooter set in a universe that is born, ages, and dies around you.

Every run drops you into a procedurally drawn cosmos. Clear waves, cash your kills in at the Werkstatt — the between-wave workshop — and stack an ever-nastier build until the three-phase final boss, REVENANT, comes to end your run. Alone, against a friend, or with up to four players in online co-op.




In SPACEL's living-universe simulation, stars age and go supernova, collapsing into black holes and neutron stars. Nebulae condense into brand-new stars. Gravity bends your bullets and your ship. Comets and asteroids tear across the battlefield — and in co-op, those asteroids double as cover.





  • The Werkstatt — spend credits between waves on weapons, drones and ship mods. Escalating prices push you to commit to a build.
  • Escalating threats — 8 enemy archetypes, from bombers to teleporters, plus wildcard wave variants: a Space Invaders throwback, a boss rush, a meteor storm, and total darkness.
  • Combo chains — keep the kills flowing to keep your multiplier alive.




Clear the game on NORMAL and SCHWER opens up. Then BRUTAL. Then MEISTER. Then LEGENDE. Every tier you conquer stacks a permanent bonus onto that ship. Beat REVENANT on all five.





  • Arcade — the core wave-based roguelite loop.
  • Missions — story-driven exploration with briefings and debriefings.
  • Endless — a tweakable sandbox, solo or co-op.
  • Local Versus — two players, one keyboard or two gamepads.
  • Online Co-op — up to four players via Steam relay (NAT-friendly) or direct LAN.
  • Leaderboards — local and online.
