Nelumbra

Nelumbra is a 2.5D roguelite time-survival game in which you play as the Light Bearer, a savior caught in timeloops and trying to discover their fate. You survive waves of celestial enemies and bosses, develop your powers and shape each run as you seek to break free from the cycle.

Dashing and surviving

Redirect and chain dashes to weave through enemy hordes. You can enhance the dashes’ power and effects, combine them with weapons and upgrades to create scaling builds, and use your character’s innate auto-attacks. Runs take under 15 minutes.

The game’s obscure world grows darker as the light fades around you. You must adapt your strategy and find ways to recharge it as you progress through each level.

Characters and artefacts

You can unlock and discover five characters, each with their own playstyle, and choose from eight hats. Across runs, you can upgrade your weapons to shape your preferred playstyle.

There are 20 combinable celestial artefacts. They can enhance weapons or dashes, or let you create clones of yourself; you choose how to use their strengths in each run.

Options

Nelumbra includes visual and controller accessibility settings. Its 2.5D celestial world has original graphics and audio.
