Vaporspace

Vaporspace is a shoot ’em up inspired by idle games, RPGs and vaporwave. You fly through randomly generated stages, defeat enemies and bosses, and collect upgrades, levels, power-ups and artifacts as you aim to reach higher stages. You can take on easier, more relaxing stages or challenge yourself with faster-paced play.

Stages and scenery

Random generation combines stages, scenery and variations of enemies and attacks. Settings include rainy skyscrapers, twilight ruins, future utopias, pixel worlds, virtual skies, luxurious libraries, nostalgic simulations, fragmented vistas, abandoned subways, dream galaxies, moonlit glaciers and digital dojos, among others.

Ships and helpers

You can choose from 29 ships, each with an auto-fire primary attack and two special abilities. Summon up to three helper ships to increase your firepower or play with friends. Helpers can follow you, hold a particular part of the screen or collect items for you.

Achievements and soundtrack

The game includes 97 in-game and Steam achievements, with a soundtrack by Doomroar and Stevia Sphere.
