Super Space Meltdown

Super Space Meltdown is a top-down sci-fi shooter in which you play Sgt. Alex Cutter, sent alone to humanity’s largest space station to stop a mysterious alien invasion. You explore randomly generated rooms filled with hostile aliens, searching for weapons and a way to uncover what is causing the station’s reactor meltdowns.

The station and its story

The alien presence has caused the reactor to approach meltdown. You have 60 seconds to clear each room and reach the next floor before time loops back to the beginning of the game. As you explore, you activate Terminal Stations that reveal messages left by previous inhabitants. These messages piece together a tragic story and the mysteries behind the invasion and the meltdowns.

Time loops and survival

When Cutter dies, his AI companion reverses time so he can try again. You keep every item and bullet you salvaged, as well as what you learned on the previous attempt. The companion can also manipulate the reactor to help you in dire situations. Rushing through rooms without a strategy can make it harder to overcome the alien threat.

Weapons and combat

Cutter starts with a space rifle and can find more weapons and ammunition as he moves from room to room. His arsenal includes mines, grenades and turrets: you can place turrets to attack enemies or use space grenades to blast them. Each room puts you up against aliens while the countdown to the next meltdown continues.
