15 itemsAbout the Game
Run For Your Life is survival Roguelite game being solo-developed by Puke&Guts, where you:
-only have melee weapons
-aren't very good at combat
-are a potato
And it's extremely fun!
Armed only with a baseball bat, you'll need to be creative- Set Traps, Lure Hordes & Barricade Rooms while you wait to progress.
Every object can be moved and destroyed, and even repaired with the right upgrades.
You will have the opportunity to upgrade from the standard bat though!
Every level begins with a choice of Weapon, Ability or Passive Upgrade to spice up your run.
Just because your weapons are melee does NOT mean no ranged combat!
Use smaller objects as Improvised Weapons and Projectiles. Send a chair flying into a crowd, instant chaos.
Tons of Unique Worlds with New Mechanics Incoming
The level list is small to start, but should offer a glimpse of the future and potential of Run For Your Life!
