About the Game

Welcome to the mainframe. SCHMEKEL drops you into a decaying digtal world inside an arcade machine.
This is a top-down roguelike bullet-heaven AND hell, where you are the architect of your own destruction.
Within the bounds of this machine, every bullet you fire bounces back.

Your goal: survive against the hordes of glitches and viruses that inhabit the arcade.

Adapt or be deleted. Every run offers an array of modifications and skills.
Experiment with diverse build paths to counter the evolving swarm: equip shield generators, boost your ricochet physics, or corrupt your own ammo for massive damage.
Find the perfect combinations to turn the arena’s geometry against the infection.

Compete against the world in a live, constantly updating global leaderboard.
Optimize your route, exploit multipliers, and boost your high score, until your name sits at the top of the list.

Find secret chambers and warped minigames. Hidden zones offer a chance to stack massive rewards, if you can find them.

IT'S GONNA BE A SLOTTER.
