About the Game

DEFLECT, DON'T DODGE. SEND IT BACK.

Every bolt the enemy fires at you is a weapon waiting to be stolen. Catch it on your deflector and send it screaming back into the ship that fired it. DEFLEKT is a neon arena shooter about turning the entire screen's firepower against itself - one perfectly timed deflect at a time.

FIFTEEN ARENAS. FIFTEEN BOSSES. ZERO REPEATS.

Fight across 15 handcrafted arenas - from the Temple of First Light to the Final Throne - each with its own map, its own color, and its own music. At the end of every one: a unique boss with its own movement, attack pattern, and signature ability. Chargers, teleporters, bouncers, wall-casters, snipers. The late ones deflect YOUR shots right back - out-read them or get erased.

FIVE SHIPS. FIVE PLAYSTYLES.

Every hull shoots differently and carries its own super that charges from kills: the Violet Manta's deflect shield, the Cyan Razor's overdrive, the Crimson Raptor's shockwave, the Emerald Wasp's homing swarm, and the Gold Vanguard's radial nova.

THREE SOUNDTRACKS. YOUR MOOD.

Not like any other game: DEFLEKT ships with three full soundtracks and lets you switch between them any time, even mid-run. Pound through arenas on original vocal EDM anthems written about the game, lock in with an instrumental synthwave and darksynth score, or ride the classic arcade tracks DEFLEKT was born with.

BRING A FRIEND. OR FIGHT ONE.

  • SOLO - one ship against the endless swarm, chasing the high score
  • LOCAL CO-OP - two ships, shared lives, one screen
  • LOCAL VERSUS - deflect bolts back and forth until someone stops deflecting

BUILT FOR SCORE CHASERS

Combo multipliers, perfect parries, rank grades, and a run timer. Every level tracks your best. Full Xbox controller support and keyboard + mouse, with instant restarts that keep you saying one more run.
