Curved Space

Curved Space is an arcade-style twin-stick shooter set in the far reaches of space. You battle invading cosmic spiders across curved landscapes, where bullets follow the terrain and the horizon can drop sharply out of view. You dodge enemy fire, collect weapon power-ups and upgrades, fight interdimensional bugs and take on enormous bosses.

Combat and upgrades

The game brings the action of traditional 2D shoot ’em ups into a warped 3D space. You can climb walls and flip to the other side of the environment as you fight. Weapons range from lasers and flamethrowers to weed wackers, and each has its own overdrive state; you can also collect a range of ability upgrades.

Story campaign

You play as an energy harvester caught in a galactic spider invasion. Your choices lead you to play as one of three potential versions of the protagonist, each taking the story in a different direction. The campaign spans asteroids, space stations and other intergalactic stages.

Game modes

Alongside the campaign, you can test your skills in four modes:

• Daily Run: Take on one run each day and aim for the highest score possible. If you miss the leaderboard, a new challenge comes the next day.
• Arena: Attempt over 60 randomized challenges drawn from the campaign and try to make the local leaderboard.
• Survival: Fight through waves of invaders, with each wave bringing a harder challenge.
• Endless: Face randomized campaign challenges and additional objectives, adapting to whatever the game throws at you.

The game also features a high-energy synthwave soundtrack made in partnership with FiXT Neon, with music from artists including Scandroid, 3Force and Fury Weekend.
