Crescent Break

Crescent Break is a roguelike about surviving procedurally generated levels filled with robots, deadly traps, fickle aliens and screen-filling bosses. You learn to overcome its dangers through skill, experience and luck, but permadeath means a run ends when you die. The levels are fully destructible, and each attempt can bring new abilities and surprises.

Fight and adapt

Robots burst into scraps when defeated. You can use these scraps to heal, replenish attacks, deal damage and trigger chain reactions. Upgrades can modify how the scraps work and combine with one another, creating powerful and sometimes unusual synergies that can change a run.

You can use unique attacks such as swords, blasters and explosions, along with the abilities and powers you find. Runs can end abruptly in punishing situations, while surviving may lead to abilities that can be almost game-breaking. Exploring the game’s systems can reveal surprises that help or harm you.

Levels and bosses

Procedurally generated levels combine destructible environments with robots, traps, aliens and bosses. Their dangers and the ways you can die vary from run to run.

Presentation

The game features hand-created, colourful pixel art with detailed animations, tight and fluid controls, and a soundtrack that mixes rock and metal with retro chiptune.
