In a Nutshell
Angelstruck is a challenging linear 2D twin-stick shooter with roguelite elements. You play as an angel of Hell attempting to shoot her way to Heaven. Fight against the combined armies of the Afterlife and uncover what’s beyond the holy gates.

Gameplay Description
Your character runs, jumps, dashes, slams down, and freely shoots in all directions.

We care greatly about spectacle and providing a sense of journey. You’ll go places. Enemies of all sizes will rain down upon you, from minions to gigantic bosses, each with their own distinct behaviors. We want to push enemy variety as much as we can.

You have two shot types: your primary fire is a straightforward machine gun. Fire enough times and you have to reload. You can attempt to time your reload just right, similar to the active reloads in Gears of War and Synthetik. In addition to shortening your reload time, this will grant a mighty fire rate boost. Slicing through incoming enemies with a perfect reload is loads of fun.

Your secondary fire comes from a preselected special weapon with power that scales with charges. Crush enemies to fill up your charges. Fire your special weapon to release all the charges you’ve built up. More charges, more firepower.

As you level up, you get bestowed with perks. You fill your inventory with these perks and ideally upgrade them enough so that you can unlock new, additional powers. When two compatible perks are maximally upgraded, you have the opportunity to synergize them, unveiling new, potent abilities that can truly turn the tide in your favor.

Between each run, you can get and equip new abilities and weapons from a pre-game loadout menu. Insanely skilled gamers may survive till the end without those gifts, but they sure do help a lot!

About Us
We’re Cem and Umur, two friends making games, based in Turkey. We used to work together in the mobile game industry. Despite coming from wildly different backgrounds and interests, we quickly noticed we were having tons of fun working together. Burned out from the mobile gaming grind, we decided to cool off a bit and began playing with ideas, learning to adapt to work on longer projects along the way.

Having a lifelong interest in all sorts of action games, we decided to work on several prototypes of varying genres, including a Happy Tree Friends-like boomer shooter and a cartoony top-down dungeon crawler.
Eventually we started working on what later became Angelstruck, and since May 2023, we’ve been working non-stop to bring a fully realized action-packed joyride for you! We hope Angelstruck will be the first of many fun experiences both for players and us.
