Tenvader

Tenvader is a roguelike arcade shooter in which you merge strange blocks to power up your ship and fight evolving enemies. You dodge incoming fire while making quick building decisions, and try to survive long enough to uncover a mystery behind the game’s looping universe.

Build your ship

You collect and place block-shaped upgrades on your ship to boost its stats, unlock weapons or trigger powerful effects. Stacking blocks of the same type makes them stronger, while blocks can also have trade-offs. Dozens of unique blocks offer different effects and synergies, and you can experiment with weapons, bullet types, active skills, items, upgrades and curses to shape each run.

Survive the loops

After each wave, you receive a block reward if you finish in time. If you do not, the void may punish you with broken or cursed blocks. Across five loops, enemies grow more dangerous and unpredictable, unexpected modifiers raise the difficulty, and special stages and elite enemies add further challenges.

Bosses and story

Each boss has its own mechanics and challenges. In higher loops, bosses gain new abilities, and boss curses push you to rethink your builds and tactics. Strange messages, events and stage effects reveal fragments of a larger mystery as the mysterious Overseer begins watching your progress. The game also features handcrafted pixel art, a cosmic science-fiction atmosphere and explosive effects.
