10 itemsAbout the Game
Explore a colorful, tiny universe. Help its cute inhabitants solve their problems. Use satisfying weapons to defend you and your new friends against hordes of quirky enemies. You can focus on controlling your shipy while shooting happens automatically. There are unique landmarks to discover, and enemies leave experience points for level-ups to gain new skills. In addition, you can mine chocolate asteroids to unlock permanent upgrades.
- Short (2-4h). No Filler-Content. Made with Love.
- Unlock permanent upgrades with chocolate (so that losing a run does not feel like wasted time).
- Cute characters with small quests.
- Satisfying combat thanks to "BOoM", "PFRZZzz" and other cool effects.
I drew a lot of inspiration from other games, and here are the most important ones:
- Vampire Survivors for the general simple (but awesome!) gameplay
- Binding of Isaac for physicality of bullets
- Halls of Torment for adding Quests to a Vampire Survivors-Like
- Fallout for the story summary at the end of the game
- Into the Breach for the little NPC dialog texts which add so much atmosphere
Hey, I'm Simon and I made this game because I love cute graphics, "Survivors"-Likes and Sci-Fi. Unfortunately, many space games are too complex and too time-consuming for me, so I wanted to make something lighter. I also like, when games respect the player's time and are rather short than stuffed with filler-quests. I hope you like my little project, let me know! :)
