About the Game

Arm the GUNBOAT-8 and set sail in this naval bullet-heaven roguelike. Destroy enemy ships, claim their bounties, and discover new weapon synergies to customise your warpship.

GUNBOAT-8 is a roguelike inspired by the likes of Brotato and SNKRX. The GUNBOAT-8 needs your customisation to help unlock its true potential. 

In GUNBOAT-8 you battle waves on enemies to earn money. Money can be spent in the shop to equip new weapons and modifiers, or you can enhance your existing weapons with unique runes that change the feel of each weapon. Design around your playstyle. Want to captain the mightiest pirate ship on the seas, or would you prefer to outsource your weaponry to an army of sharks?

The GUNBOAT-8 automatically attacks enemies, meaning you can focus on manoeuvring through tight spaces and equipping the best weapons for the cause.
