Pop-Up Apocalypse

A desktop roguelite

Pop-Up Apocalypse is a fast action roguelite for PC set inside a turn-of-the-millennium computer. On New Year’s Eve 1999, viruses and pop-up windows overrun the desktop. You control the mouse pointer, fight through four areas and face a boss at the end of each. A full run takes about 20 minutes.

Aiming and windows

You aim every shot yourself, then dash through enemy fire to avoid attacks. Open windows are weapons too: grab one and fling it into the horde. Thrown windows can plough through enemies, crack others and break boss shields.
