every survivors-like throws a horde at you. mine doesn't know when to stop.
Same run, a few seconds apart: a handful of enemies, then a wall of them. Same arena, same weapons, a lot more to kill. One person building it.

every survivors-like starts you with one weapon. it does not stay that way.
Same arena, same swarm in both halves of this clip. The only thing that changed is the build: one starter weapon, then the evolved arsenal six weapons deep, deleting the same crowd. One person building it.

every survivors-like aims for you. this one lets you turn that off.
Most survivors-likes auto-fire at whatever's closest. One of the characters here drops that: you aim every weapon by hand and fire exactly where you point, past the horde if you want. One person building it.

normal survivors-like. then the floor has a final boss.
A few seconds of an ordinary run, then the whole arena erupts into the Wyrm of Naberus and the serpent is the entire fight. One person building it.

same survivors-like. then the floor stops being flat.
Same fight the whole way through. Same weapons, same horde, same run. Then the whole arena is a Möbius strip and you're fighting around the twist. One person building it.

Whoa, that looks funny!
Hope that there will be a good Steam Deck support, I believe that neon style would look awesome on OLED!
30 seconds in. 8 minutes in.
Same survivors-like run. It opens on a calm sphere, and by minute eight it's a hyperbolic disc buried in beams.

the enemies form an orderly queue here
The arena is a spiral, so the horde flows along it in one stream. The combo climbed past x240 while it lasted. One person building it.

before we get weird: the ball
It's a ball. Enemies walk around it, bullets curve around it, there is no edge to run off. The normal one. One person building it.

My survivors-like keeps folding the whole arena into new shapes mid-fight. There's a public playtest.
It opens Thursday July 16 and closes Sunday July 26. Two weekends, then it's gone. Signups are live now. I'm one person building this. Come break it.
