A cozy little top-down roguelike shooter you play right in the browser. You're an amber cowboy-blob blasting through procedurally generated depths — solo, or in real-time co-op with friends. Inspired by Soul Knight.

Clear a floor, step into the glowing exit to descend, and see how deep you can get.
- 4 kits, 4 playstyles — Gunner (DPS), Mender (healer), Bulwark (tank), Phantom (mobility), each with a signature ultimate.
- Deep loadouts — 49 weapons and 45+ blessings that stack into wild builds. No two runs play the same.
- Real bosses — a hand-authored boss every 5 floors, each with its own telegraphed signature attack and counterplay (not just a bullet-sponge).
- Online co-op — quick-play or share a 4-letter room code. Everyone lands in the same authoritative server world, with a 25s reconnect grace so a Wi-Fi blip is never a death.
- Juice — hit-stop, screen shake, particles, muzzle flash, and a fully procedural WebAudio soundtrack + SFX (zero audio files).
- Pixel art, all generated — every sprite runs through a custom art pipeline.
Vite + TypeScript on a raw HTML5 canvas (no engine). Real-time multiplayer, accounts, and
saved stats via Convex; deployed on Vercel; authoritative game server
in server/.
Architecture & deployment (for devs)
Co-op, logins, and saved data are powered by Convex and are opt-in via a single env var
(VITE_CONVEX_URL). With it unset, the game runs exactly like solo v0. Full provisioning
steps and architecture: MULTIPLAYER.md.
A real authoritative WebSocket server runs the same src/sim/stepWorld as the single
source of truth; clients send inputs and predict/reconcile. It lives in
server/; each room code binds to its own isolated server world via
a Convex-minted, server-verified ticket. Solo stays on the in-process LocalTransport,
byte-identical. Measured reports:
Stage C · Stage B.
Production deploys, restarts, drains, and rollbacks run through an isolated, loopback-only
control service — control/ — driving an immutable release pipeline
(atomic current symlink) with full audit. Spec:
control-plane spec.
Built and maintained autonomously. Evolves every few hours.
