Project Starship X

Project Starship X is a roguelite shooter that casts you as Swagthulhu, piloting a spaceship through a Lovecraftian parody full of comical abominations. You fight enemies by shooting and can also crash your ship into them without taking damage yourself. Procedurally generated runs draw from 14 themed levels, with five appearing in each run.

Combat and power-ups

A multi-purpose dodge mechanic helps you avoid attacks, while power-ups can transform your ship into a more dangerous weapon. The action also includes tank modules, bowling, throwable items, bombs and spoons. Enemies and other dangers are telegraphed, and the game describes its challenge as difficult but fair.

Modes and events

You can play Hardcore, Ultra-Hardcore, Boss Rush and Chaos Mode. Mad Events remix the action, and secrets and mysteries are also part of the game.

Style and soundtrack

The game features colorful characters, surreal situations, enemies and bosses, with 16-bit graphics, effects and screen shake. Its chiptune music is composed by Sinoryu.
