History

As part of our adventure into game development, this was the first big effort game title by Cosmic Spud. We took inspiration from games such as Risk of Rain, and wanted to make our own randomized and challenging action game. Learning to use software such as Godot and Pyxel Edit was a fun and challenging journey. During the development process, we had quite the bump in quality going from no music to the capable hands and abilities of our friend, Matthew Martino. The initial tests he created went on to become a whole 18 track original soundtrack. From all of us as Cosmic Spud, we hope you enjoy our first major game.

Features

  • A sidescrolling rogue-lite experience with fast paced combat
  • Discover and equip over 50 various items and power yourself up
  • Items, mutations, and world layout are randomized so no two attempts are the same
  • Original soundtrack by Matthew Martino Music
