10 itemsAbout the Game
PERMUTER is a game inspired by the Pacifism Mode in Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions, but with a roguelike-y, Vampire Suvivors-y twist.
Control your ship with agile movement and a dash to smash through gates, destroying enemies and collecting points. Spend points at the shop where you can buy upgrades for your ship which can improve your movement, defense, or give you game-changing weapons which automatically fire. Just focus on positioning as best you can!
PERMUTER was made by a solo developer as their first published game. Any and all thoughts or feedback is very welcome and appreciated! The soundtrack for this game was made by Kubbi on Bandcamp.

- Weave and dash through enemies to survive levels, earn points and defeat elite bosses!
- Buy upgrades for your ship which change the game, making you think differently about your positioning.
- Buy multiple of the same upgrade to level it up, giving it huge unique improvements.
- Synergise the classes of your upgrades, which can give some or all other upgrades a boost! Choose your upgrades carefully!
