15 itemsAbout the Game
DEATHPIT 3000 is a top-down co-op bullet-hell shooter where you fight waves of enemies to claim arena championships! Choose a uniquely powerful ability that promotes offensive or defensive play-styles as you battle your way through four distinct Deathpits and slaughter hoards of deadly enemies to earn Spacebux and unlock weapons, equipment and upgrades, all in a humorous dystopian sci-fi universe.
Originally inspired by retro classic Smash TV, and influenced by modern co-op titles such as Left 4 Dead, Alien Swarm, and Dawn of War II: The Last Stand, it’s a punchy experience - great for casual gamers but with enough challenge and tactical depth for hours of replayability.
The game now supports up to FOUR PLAYERS in ONLINE CO-OP. It can also be played SINGLE PLAYER, or with up to FOUR PLAYERS over LOCAL AREA NETWORK, which works even without internet.
- 1-4 player co-op, online and over local area network
- 4 championships
- 4 powerful abilities (shield, teleport, lighting attack and invisibility)
- 5 voiced playable characters
- 6 tactically distinct, upgradable weapons
