Project Screwed

Project Screwed is a local co-op game for up to four players. You play as an elite taskforce sent by the government of Badville to mine Rareium, the galaxy’s rarest material. Badville wants enough of it to penetrate Goodville’s planet-spanning shield during next year’s “throw rocks at Goodville” festival.

Defend the base

On hostile alien planets, you mine Rareium while defending your base from waves of enemies that attack it and disrupt your work. You operate cannons to shoot the threats, or aim a cannon’s shield in time to deflect their attacks. As the rounds progress, the waves grow stronger, so you must manage time and resources while meeting the base’s requirements.

Work together locally

Up to four players can cooperate locally to keep the base running. You can man the cannons, refill the ammunition storage, fix broken machines, repair the dome and operate the miner. Although everyone is on the same team, the ensuing chaos also leaves room to sabotage your friends.

Upgrade the base

Between rounds, you can upgrade different parts of the base to withstand stronger enemy waves. Buying an upgrade box costs some of your progress, and each box offers three upgrades for the group to choose from. Better upgrades can improve your chances of surviving and collecting more Rareium.

Explore the galaxy

The game takes you through more than 30 planets, each portrayed in 2D pixel art with its own design and ecosystem. Across more than 30 levels, you encounter mechanics including portals that transport you across a level, doors that can only be opened one at a time, jumping pads that launch you into the air and tubes that carry you around.
