A Nifty Game

A Nifty Game is a fast-paced twin-stick shooter set in a voxel world. You fight other programs for bits, using powerups and weapons to defeat enemies and grow stronger as the simulation becomes increasingly corrupted.

The simulation

The game takes place in a simulated world inhabited by programs competing for resources called bits. Forcefully terminating programs corrupts the system, while surviving evolving programs and rising corruption may let you escape the simulation.

Fight and adapt

You collect bits from defeated enemies, gather powerups with unique effects and find better weapons. Powerups can be combined, and enemies evolve through a system inspired by genetics.

Levels are procedurally generated. The game also uses shader effects inspired by glitches in older technology, such as scanlines.
