About This Game

Welcome, operator.

COLD START is a fast-paced top-down shooter with explosive firefights, bullet parries, and the tools to build your own battles. Fight through enemy encounters, turn incoming fire against your attackers, and take control of the action in a powerful built-in map editor.

Keep moving. Hit back.

Shoot your way through enemies, drop bombs to clear space, and time your parries to send bullets back where they came from. Keep an eye on your surroundings and use every opening to stay in the fight.

Build your own battlefield.

Take an idea from an empty map to a playable encounter. Lay out your levels, place enemies, and use triggers to control how the action unfolds. Add dialogue and cutscenes to give your creations a story, then jump in and test them yourself.

Build a tight, chaotic firefight or give players room to explore. You decide what waits around the next corner.
