Endless Reach

A space bullet heaven

Endless Reach is a top-down bullet heaven for PC, set among swarms of matter in space. You pilot a ship built from light, aim it at enemies, and let its guns fire automatically. Runs are built around deciding when to leave a sector: the longer you stay, the more enemies and rewards you face, but dying means losing most of what you’ve collected.

Mint orbs are both experience and cargo. They fill your XP bar as you collect them, and their value can be banked in the hangar if you make it out. You can call for a jump at any time, but it takes about eight seconds to charge. The charge uses fuel and raises heat, and it pauses if you leave the zone that forms around you. Escape successfully and you keep everything you’re carrying; die before then and you keep about a fifth.
