You have been trapped in the polygon dimension. The only way to escape is to leave the dungeon you are trapped in, but there are many rooms and guards along the way to stop you. Can you find the exit before time runs out, or is there even an exit at all?


polyshot is a fun 2D arcade vector-art top-down shooter with a theme of polygons. Buy upgrades and to level up your character and fight through the waves of enemies blocking the path to the exit. Use dashes to flee enemies or to get closer.


HOW TO PLAY

Defeat all enemies in the room before the timer ends to advance to the next room.

You get a specific amount of orbs depending on the type of enemy you kill. You can use orbs to buy different upgrades and gain health.

The difficulty increases progressively with each room completed. New enemy variants and a boss fight appear after a specific number of completed rooms.
