Lootbox Lyfe

Lootbox Lyfe is a Metroidvania about saving your species by exploring an interconnected world and overcoming platforming obstacles. You play as Liam Cappello, the last Xoobotl, who wakes from a long slumber to find the world he loved in ruins. Lootboxes, introduced to the Xoobotls by Shadowleaf Irvine, left the species addicted and spending less on essentials such as food and water. Now bodies are dropping, and Liam must explore a world devastated by Shadowleaf’s monopolistic endeavour.

Explore the world

You unlock new areas by gaining movement options, using precise movement skills to cross obstacles and move through the world at speed. The non-linear world has many possible routes, so your playthrough may differ from a friend’s. It contains 11 areas, including a mountainside rebels base and a garden infested with lootbox-induced fungi trees.

Collect and customize

Hidden coins can be spent on lootboxes that unlock hats with special powerups. You can also change Liam’s appearance with different outfits and colors.

Modes and playtime

The game takes 5–8 hours to complete, with more to do if you aim for 100% completion. A speedrun-specific mode supports speedrunning, and the game includes numerous modes with different ways to play.
