Stray Shot

Stray Shot is a twin-stick arena shooter where your actions shape the difficulty. Shooting walls recklessly brings in more enemies, while shooting too little can leave you with a mediocre score. You study the monsters’ behavior and choose how to fight: the more monsters in the arena, the more points you earn for each one you defeat.

Arenas and challenges

You can unlock and play in eight arenas, each with its own monsters. Contract levels task you with defeating specific sets of monsters, while clan levels unlock for monsters you have encountered across each of their five evolutions. Seeded daily challenges keep sending new sets of monsters until you die.

In Gauntlet mode, you earn coins and spend them on upgrades that last until you run out of lives. Festival mode adds another level-based mode, with levels defined in festival_mode.txt and an arcade-style leaderboard that accepts three-letter aliases. It includes aim assist and removes the fullscreen option, so the game can run on a computer with the keyboard put away for people to play. Festival mode supports solo play or up to four players using four controllers.

Play together

Stray Shot supports single-player and co-op for two to four players. You can play with a mouse and keyboard or a controller. Sessions can last from five minutes to multiple hours, depending on the modes you choose and how long you keep playing.

Soundtrack

The game features an original soundtrack by Pentadrangle.
