About the Game

BLIGHTWRECK is a handcrafted 2D action-adventure Metroidvania set in a sunken ocean liner. Explore the bowels of the Starchaser, and the ocean floor surrounding it to find a way home.

Features

  • Five wildly different areas to explore, each filled with an assortment of upgrades to find and enemies to fight. Traverse the Starchaser’s wreck in this tight 2D platformer.
  • Gorgeous hand drawn 32 bit pixel art, with colorful yet atmospheric environments to traverse. No two areas look alike, and enemies are filled with personality.
  • An energetic soundtrack that pulls from a charcuterie board of 90s electronic music. Head bang to the boss theme while fighting a giant squid, relax and chill out to the melodic tones of the Kelp Forest in the ambience of a glowing jellyfish.
  • Uncover the mystery of the Starchaser’s sinking… Where are all the bodies?
  • Lots of crabs.
