Our take on Shiperoids
The defining structure is an endless survival loop in which each wave increases the number of enemy ships until the player's remaining lives run out.
What is Shiperoids?
Shiperoids is a 2D space shooter built around surviving repeated attacks from enemy ships that try to ram the player's craft.
Each wave begins with a small number of enemies, then the ship population grows with every new wave. The game continues as long as the player still has lives, making survival time the central objective. Its structure is direct and arcade-inspired, with simple controls and increasingly crowded encounters. The visual concept draws from vector-style space games associated with 1980s arcades.
How Shiperoids plays
- 01Escalating Enemy Waves
- Each successive wave adds more ships to the encounter while the player has remaining lives.
- 02Ramming Enemies
- Enemy ships attack by attempting to collide with the player's spacecraft.
- 03Endless Survival
- The session centers on lasting as long as possible rather than reaching a stated final stage.
