About the Game

Charming retro action arcade shooter with roguelite elements (and a pet space worm!).

    The dastardly humans have achieved interstellar spaceflight once more and are spreading throughout the galaxy like a virus. The call has gone out: it is time to send them back to the Stone Age once again, for the good of all alienkind.

Regrettably, the council has ignored the human threat and left the Intergalactic Space Force with a razor-thin budget. Your ship maintenance bar must be managed, and when it empties, you will have to handle critical breakage events, which always happen at - the worst - possible time.

    Battle through waves of human ships, keep your spacecraft in one piece, upgrade your ship to absurd levels, and protect your space station. Upon death, you'll receive retrofit options that change the gameplay experience for your next space battle.

Starting Tips

  • Gather as many salvage gems as you can before they disappear (you'll need them for upgrades!)

  • Keep an eye on your maintenance meter (bottom left) to be prepared for sudden breakdowns

  • Get ALL the absurd, OP upgrades

Features

  • Grab a controller for a twin-stick shooter experience, or play with your mouse and WASD (as the PC overlords intended)

  • See how you stack up against your friends with Steam Leaderboards

  • Innovative maintenance mechanic: taking damage won't kill you, but your ship's impaired systems will make defending your space station that much harder
