What is Spelp?

This single-player, top-down shooter mixes arena survival with roguelite elements in a science-fiction setting. You shoot alien hordes, fight bosses, and upgrade weapons and passive abilities during twenty-minute runs. On the planet Stardust, you free captive program members to assemble a team; in the Lab, you fight waves of experimental monsters without their help.

For you if...

+you enjoy combining weapons and passive upgrades into specialized builds
+you prefer short runs with selectable difficulty levels

Not for you if...

−you want cooperative play rather than solo survival
