A Survivor-Like Roguelite, Rendered in Pure ASCII
Every monster, bullet, and explosion is ASCII text on a CRT screen. Glow, barrel distortion, particle effects layered on top — and it still plays like a survivor-like should.Weapons fire automatically and enemies come from every direction. You keep moving, keep picking upgrades, and by mid-run you can barely tell what's killing what.

Why ASCII?
I just wanted chaos in pure ASCII. Text characters, post-processing, and a lot of particle effects. Looks like a terminal? Into the bullet storm.Accessibility
Adjustable difficulty (Standard / Hard / Insane), independent Master / BGM / SFX volumes, keyboard-only or controller-only play.Photosensitivity: CRT, glow, barrel warp, vignette, and glitch effects each toggle individually. A "Reduce Flashing" option softens rapid color flicker on hit and enemy windup.
