About the Game

ONE BUTTON BOSSES:

  • ⬇️Push. Tap. Bash:A 4 hour campaign, a concise roguelike game mode and just one button.
  • ❤️ Heart-pumping Strategy: It’s harder than it looks; pilots better be ready for a fight! Unlock upgrades and customize your ship to win.
  • 🔥 The Grind: Brag to your friends, laugh at enemies, and compete for the best times on the leaderboard.
  • 🎹 Get in The Zone: A legendary synth-wave soundtrack accompanies pilots' many, many losses.
  • 🚩Rise up and Resist: Follow the story of Ace, an unpaid assistant, as they resist the big bosses for a fair paycheck.
  • 🚀 Play Your Way: Each of the bosses needs to be beaten in a best of 3, 5, 7 … meaning you will never be hard stuck on a boss fight as there is always a different level to try.

THE SHIP

You pilot a ship that orbits the BOSS automatically. PRESS the button to change the ship’s direction 🔄. But the less you change directions, the faster the ship goes. The faster you go, the faster you shoot. The faster you shoot, the faster you WIN! Make sure to WIN before the BOSS gets too angry and wipes you out!

CUSTOMIZE ATTACKS

There's depth to the simple controls! You can customize the ship, mixing ATTACK and MOVEMENT upgrades to find the best builds to beat bosses. DASH instead of changing directions, fire a LASER instead of bullets. There’s over 100 different combinations you can try out to suit your playstyle!

A MEAN STORY

ACE THE ASSISTANT will loop you into the 50 handcrafted levels of bullet hell action. The bosses will taunt you as you lose, but if you persist you will rise up the ranks, progress the story, earn GRIND POINTS and unlock new ways to play! Are you ready?

ROGUELITE R&D (RIFTS & DEVELOPMENTS)

Fly your ship into the R&D (RIFTS & DISCOVERIES) department. Where you will face insanely challenging RANDOMLY GENERATED BOSSES and earn new upgrades and power-ups after every fight.
