Particulitix

Particulitix is an arcade roguelite where positioning matters more than firepower. You fight in playfields with zones that shape each encounter, collect experience by risking your position, and combine upgrades into builds that change how you move and fight. Runs have their own arsenals, while permanent character upgrades carry over between them.

Weapons and aiming

Each weapon has its own firing pattern, range, special effect and aiming style. Some require manual aim for twin-stick shooting; others aim automatically, leaving you to focus on movement and positioning. You can switch manual-aim weapons to auto-aim, and toggle auto-shoot separately with any weapon.

Upgrades and builds

Dozens of upgrades can combine in unexpected ways. Examples include:

• Spicy bounce: Each time a bullet bounces, its damage doubles. Fragments and damage-over-time effects keep the boost.
• Laser: Deals 8x damage, with a limit of 8 active at a time. It combines with fragments for chain effects.
• Mimic: Your ship takes on the appearance of the enemies chasing you. They stop chasing unless you fire, which breaks the disguise for a short time.

Positioning and zones

Experience does not come to you, so collecting it means taking risks with your position. Temporary zones appear across the screen and offer situational bonuses; timing your pickups and using the zones at the right moment can turn a dangerous move into an advantage. Upgrades also interact with movement, positioning and timing, changing how you use the playfield rather than simply increasing your numbers.

Code-generated visuals

Every visual is generated in code, with no sprites or texture atlases. The game draws its visuals from math and particles each frame.
