GLOWDEEP

Something under the scrapyards is glowing, and you're going down to find it.

Glowdeep is a fast, top-down roguelite shooter. Blast through randomly generated caves, grab every gun you find, and step into the portal. Each time you clear a level you pick one of three mutations, and they stack until your run turns into something strange and overpowered. Then the caves get meaner.

What's down there

• Mutations after every level. 19 of them: extra projectiles, ricochet bones, homing shots, exploding enemies, lifesteal, a zap halo, one-time cheat-death, glass-cannon trade-offs and more. They stack, so no two runs play the same.
• 8 weapons with their own feel. From a trusty free revolver to a rebar crossbow, a can launcher, a flak hose and a sludge cannon. Carry two and swap any time.
• Destructible caves. Shoot through walls to make new routes. Explosions carve rooms, and so do the enemies' own bullets.
• Secret rooms. Cracked, glinting walls hide sealed chambers with a bonus mutation, a rare weapon or a permanent max-HP heart.
• Three areas. The dusty Scrapland, the dripping Sumps and the crystal Glasscaves, each with its own enemies and mood.
• The Warden. A bone-crowned boss waits every fifth level, with bullet rings, burst fire and summoned minions.
• Elites from level 11. Glowing red enemies with double HP and nastier attacks. How deep can you get?
• Original chiptune rock soundtrack. Each area has its own fast-paced track that kicks into full drums and guitars when a fight starts.
