🚀 Overview - Play the WebGL Prototype here!
Cosmic Gambit is a Unity-based 2D roguelike game set in a sci-fi space universe. Players navigate procedurally generated levels, battling hostile alien forces, collecting upgrades, and facing randomized encounters. Along the journey, mini-games like Blackjack and Roulette allow players to gamble resources, unlock rare items, and change the tide of the game.
- Roguelike Exploration: Navigate spaceship interiors, alien planets, and derelict stations. Each run is unique with randomly generated rooms and enemies.
- Combat: Shoot, dodge, and use special abilities to survive waves of enemies.
- Mini-Games:
- Blackjack: Risk your health or rewards to gain powerful items.
- Roulette: Spin for chance-based bonuses or penalties.
- Sci-Fi Setting: Explore a visually rich universe filled with futuristic tech, alien flora, and cosmic phenomena.
- Dynamic Events: Randomized room events and NPC encounters to keep each run fresh.
- Player Progression: Health, upgrades, and resources persist only within a run. Permanent unlocks (like new starting items) can be added later.
