terminus

You are the last Unit. Your weapons fire themselves. All you control is where you stand, and what you become.

TERMINUS is a top-down survivor game where movement is the whole control scheme. No aim, no dash, no attack button. Weapons find the nearest enemy on their own, so the skill is position: where you stand, when you move, and what you pick when the level-up cards come.

What's in it

• 6 zones, fifteen minutes each. The pressure only climbs.
• 6 bosses, each teaching one skill. CORE, the last, asks for all of them at once.
• 6 Units, six different ways to stand, sharing one upgrade pool.
• 6 weapons that level to 6, four sockets at a time.
• Three cards per level-up, Rares on a fixed schedule.
• A permanent shop between runs. A bad run still counts: a win keeps 100% of your scrap, death keeps 75%, quitting keeps 35%.
• An in-game DATABASE that reads the same data the game runs on, so it is never out of date.

How to play

• WASD or arrow keys: move. That's it.
• Weapons aim and fire on their own.
• Pick one of three cards at every level-up.
