Pachinvaders: Roguelite Mode Now Live!

We're excited to announce that Pachinvaders now features a fully playable Roguelite Mode with an advanced card system! Our beloved pachinko-inspired arcade game has been transformed into a strategic, replayable adventure where every decision matters.

Play Pachinvaders Roguelite Mode now on Itch.io (v0.00.11) for PC, Mac, or right in your browser!

What's New in the Roguelite Mode:

  • 36 Unique Cards - From Common to Transcendent rarity
  • Card Stacking & Upgrading - Build powerful combinations
  • Chance-Based Effects - Piercing, Bounce, Multishot, and Embiggen
  • Strategic Decision Making - Choose your path to victory
  • Infinite Replayability - No two runs are ever the same

In this new game mode, players face increasingly challenging waves of invaders. After each wave, you'll choose from a selection of powerup cards that permanently enhance your abilities for that run. These cards could boost your ball count, add piercing effects, increase bounce chances, or unlock devastating multishot capabilities!

We're actively testing and refining the card system based on player feedback. This roguelite twist transforms Pachinvaders from a classic arcade experience into a strategic adventure where every decision matters and your card choices determine your fate!

Active Development & Testing

We're currently in active development and testing phase for Pachinvaders' card system. We're fine-tuning:

  • Card balance and progression
  • Transcendent card mechanics (final tier cards)
  • Powerup vs. card proc interactions
  • Ball economy and strategic depth

Your playtesting and feedback is crucial as we refine the experience. Try different card combinations and let us know what works and what needs improvement!

Under Wraps: Our Big Project

We're hard at work on our debut title—a vertical shoot 'em up that channels the electrifying spirit of late '90s and early '00s arcade classics. While we're not quite ready to unveil all the details, here's a little hint: if you've ever been drawn in by the fast-paced thrills and timeless charm of classic arcade shooters, then prepare for a nostalgic journey with a modern twist. Our upcoming project promises to be a loving tribute to the golden age of arcade gaming, reimagined for today's players.
