This is a prototype, things might be broken, unfinished and unbalanced. Should still be playable though.

Gameplay

Rootkit is a roguelike bullet hell game that takes place inside circular world (like literally inside a circle). Combining the familiar fast paced twin-stick shooter with a unique movement system makes for challenging encounters where you really have to adapt to the circular world to use it to your advantage.

In your arsenal you have different weapons and abilities (only one of each for now, soonTM) that have wildly different playstyles. Throughout your mission, you will also be collecting items that have varying effects, both weak and strong. But watch out, if you die, you lose them all.

Project

This is a hobby project of mine that I've been working on whenever I have time. I'd like to push it further by telling a story through the game, adding content and fixing up things like audio and art (I'm a programmer, not Picasso). This prototype is the first step of that journey. Getting real feedback and showing the project to everybody who is interested. So if you have time, test it out and let me know what you think.
If you want to be extra helpful, following me on Twitter/X or joining my Discord server to follow the dev process would also be sick!
