Our take on Windowkill
The game replaces the usual fixed shooter arena with its own changing window. Its boundaries move around the screen and close in during combat, making the play area part of the threat rather than a passive frame for the action.
What is Windowkill?
Windowkill is a twin-stick shooter where the game window constantly closes in on the player.
The screen serves as the play area, with windows moving and shifting during sessions. Shooting the window edges pushes the game window around while enemies and bosses appear in their own windows. Gameplay includes roguelike permadeath, shop screens, upgrades, perks, unlocks, secrets, several characters, enemy hordes, and boss fights. Local co-op provides multiplayer play. Mouse and keyboard controls are preferred, while gamepad controls are also supported. The game combines combat and dodging with a play area that changes position and size during the session.
