The game is in Early Access on Steam, and now very close to release.

Space Grunts mixes an action game with a turn-based roguelike: Quick instant turns and inventory handling meets screen-shakes, big explosions, and intense action.

Build on LibGDX with some Orangepixel game engine sauce on top :wink:

I’ve also been trying to actually beat my own game, which I still fail at, but the recordings might be fun to watch and see what the game is all about:

It’s a really nice game.

Btw, those sort of pulsing purple alien blobby things that are found in most rooms… what are they for? What do they do? Why can I shoot them?

#3

originally I had planned to have some aliens burst out of them in later levels… still need to make that happen :wink:

#4

I think they generally need to burst when they’re shot, and if they’re not going to burst immediately, at least show they’re taking damage somehow.

I love this Game and this Art style! :slight_smile:
