Our take on Nebula
Rather than following a fixed campaign structure, the game centers on repeated survival runs against endless waves. Progress carries through ship, weapon, and statistic upgrades, while map resources and drones can either support a run or turn into hazards.
What is Nebula?
Nebula is a bullet hell twin-stick shooter set in deep space.
Choose from 9 ships, each with its own bonus and primary weapon, then fight through endless waves of enemies. During missions, collect space debris, weapons, power-ups, buffs, and gears, the game's currency. Resource hubs provide additional effects and gears, while map resources and drones can support the run or become hazards. Spend collected gears in the hangar to improve player and weapon statistics. New ships and weapons can be unlocked, including 4 hidden ships and 8 enhanced weapon versions. The game supports mouse and keyboard input as well as controllers, with fullscreen and windowed display options.
