About the Game

Bist Squad is a small 1-bit roguelite where you explore dungeons, hatch mysterious eggs, and build a team of Bists to survive all the way to the final floor… where a ruthless fight awaits you!

No tutorial. No help.

Bist Squad trusts you to figure out its mechanics on your own.

Are you ready to build the ultimate Bist Squad?

A short game 🎮

Bist Squad is a deliberately concise experience: it can be finished in under 2 hours.

Yes, technically, you could finish it and ask for a refund… 😅

But if you enjoy it and want me to keep making other games, it would mean a lot if you didn’t ❤️

Automatic turn-based battles ⚔️

Creature collection and evolution 🐣

Configurable retro visual effects 📺
