What's the Matter?

What's the Matter? is a rhythm-driven roguelite shooter in which Matty Matter sets out to rescue friends waiting somewhere in the cosmos. Crashed ships, escaped convicts and lost vacationers are among the troubles along the way. You travel through the periodic table of elements, with each element unlocking new territory and enemies as well as facts about that element.

Missions and enemies

The game has three missions, each with a unique space environment and boss. Enemies attack in time with an original jazz soundtrack, and the hand-drawn characters and settings are animated and choreographed to the beat. Levels are randomly generated, so each run differs.

Upgrades and elements

When Matty dies, you keep your points and can rebuild him for another run. Roguelite upgrades offer thousands of combinations. The game also includes an in-game database of elements.
