About the Game

Glass Cannon is a difficult but chill physics-based roguelike where you plan each of your shots carefully to eliminate all your enemies in as few shots as possible. The game plays like a slower, almost turn-based shoot-em-up where you make builds and combinations that help you score big and ravage your enemies.

Gameplay

  • Clear all enemies in each round, get money and improve your arsenal

  • Buy new weapons each of which has a unique playstyle - some deal damage, some help you move around, some knock enemies away etc.

  • Mod your weapons with mods that synergize in unique ways with each other

  • Enemies you fail to destroy will attack you and deal their health as damage

  • Each bullet has a limit on bounces. Make use of each shot wisely so you optimize damage dealt to the maximum number of enemies!

Features

  • Randomly generated enemies and obstacles, making each run unique

  • 8 Enemy types with unique skills like the necromancer, spiker, leaper...

  • 24 rounds of increasing difficulty and different challenges, including loops

  • 16 different weapons to choose from, each with its own playstyle

  • 120+ weapon mods and powerups to improve your run
