All Day Dying

All Day Dying is a score attack shooter built around learning short levels and developing your own strategies. You chain kills quickly to build your combo meter, then pursue score-based and level-specific objectives. There is no story, RPG system, upgrades, procedural content or luck: progress comes from practice and knowledge of the levels.

Levels and objectives

The game has three chapters with evolving visual styles and more than 30 levels. Alongside score-based goals, levels include specific objectives such as escaping a prison or destroying a monument. Eight additional levels based on existing ones change how you play them, with new challenges such as earning points while freefalling from the sky, cleaning up a virus and completing a platforming puzzle.

Combat and difficulty

You can choose from five difficulty settings and multiple weapons, each with a special ability. Varied enemy types require you to learn different ways to deal with them. One high-risk, high-reward weapon deals heavy damage but is easy to miss, which can cost you your combo; its ability lets you remote-control the projectile for better results.

Modes and extras

Fast-paced, short levels let you play in brief sessions. The game also includes a soundtrack with more than 50 songs and cheat codes. Free Aim mode is available in the options menu without the penalties associated with using cheats.
