Serve the Megacorp

Inspired by Terraria's Old Ones Army, but dropped straight into a grim, brutal sci-fi meatgrinder.

You’re a corporate Prospector sent down to a colorful, aggressive alien planet with a simple job description: secure a foothold, strip the world of its resources, and wipe out anything that pushes back. The locals aren't happy about the corporate takeover, and they're coming for your extraction site in overwhelming swarms. Armed with high-tech power armor and a high-frequency blade, you have to survive long enough to establish dominion for the company.

Onslaught is a high-speed 2D action platformer and tower defense hybrid. If you want to survive, your mechanical movement skills have to be just as sharp as your defensive grid layout.

GAMEPLAY

• Momentum Based Movement: Weave attacks, mid-air dashes, and double-jumps together. Ground slashes lunge you forward to close the distance, while aerial swings keeps you in the air even if you run out of fuel.

 

• Active Defense Management: You can’t just drop your defenses and go AFK. You’ll need to plan your defense keep them running against the swarms, you have to actively manage your deployment throughout the round.

• Resource Management: Everything is a constant tradeoff. You have fuel points to spend on mid-air dashes and extra jumps, which only refresh when your boots hit solid ground. You’ll need to balance that fuel tank while sprinting across multiple lanes, hoarding currency from dead enemies, and keeping the core Cosmic Beacon from getting breached.

• Crunchy Retro Vibe: Built with gritty, clean 2D pixel art inspired by games like Enter the Gungeon and backed by a heavy 16-bit soundscape.

YOUR GEAR

• The Blade: Your main weapon. Alternate your slashes to lunge across the terrain or clear out airborne threats.

• The Exosuit: Your mobility engine. It holds fuel charges that let you cancel momentum with sharp horizontal dashes or double-jump to scale lanes instantly.

• The Arsenal: Pop open the radial building menu mid-fight to instantly spend your collected currency on automated defenses.
