K9 Uprising

K9 Uprising is a shooting game about five dog soldiers fighting waves of alien invaders. Two scientists form an experimental team to save the planet from the invasion. You choose a dog and take on missions, playing for survival or competing for score in the same mode.

Missions and enemies

The game has 100 stages, with 10 stages in each mission. You can select any mission from the beginning. Enemy placement is hand-crafted, with difficulty ranging from casual to challenging, alongside scarce randomized sections and hundreds of enemy patterns. Difficulty varies by dog, and some dogs find particular levels more challenging than others because their weapons handle differently.

Dogs and weapons

You can choose from five dog soldiers, each with three unique weapons to master. The game has 15 weapons, and base weapons upgrade automatically in later missions, for 25 weapons in total. Weapon guides and sections explaining how to play are included.

Scoring and survival

Each bullet type scores differently depending on the enemy it hits, and each dog has a distinct play style to learn if you want to maximize your score. Some multi-shot basic weapons can earn more points when fired close to enemies, but doing so puts you at greater risk of being hit. You have infinite lives, but taking three hits costs 100,000 points. Ten built-in personal leaderboards, one for each mission, track your scores.

Story

The story uses dialogue throughout, which you can speed up or skip entirely.
