Beltrunner
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Beltrunner
Command your ship, upgrade it at the hangar, survive an onslaught of cosmological events, and break the bullet-hell bosses waiting at the edge of every sector.
What is Beltrunner?
Beltrunner is an asteroids shoot-'em-up crossed with a bullet-hell and a survivors-like roguelite. It fuses the auto-firing, build-crafting rush of Vampire Survivors, the phase-shifting boss duels of a bullet-hell shooter, and the open-drift dogfighting of Asteroids into one relentless run.
You only fly - your weapons fire themselves. Every sector is a ten-minute fight to stay alive as the belt thickens, hostile ships warp in, and the cosmos itself turns against you. Level up mid-run to draft an ever-nastier arsenal, cash your salvaged Scrap into permanent ship upgrades between runs, and drift-dodge your way through boss patterns that only get denser as their health drops. Clear all five sectors and The Void opens - an endless, ever-escalating gauntlet with your name on the high-score board.
Features
Upgrade your ship at the hangar. Salvage Scrap on every run and spend it between runs on permanent upgrades: tougher hull, hotter guns, better luck, extra weapon slots, even a one-time escape pod. Unlock and pilot eight distinct hulls, from the nimble Scout to the flagship Sovereign, each with its own playstyle.
Weather cosmic events. Fourteen space events crash your run: black holes that swallow the field, sweeping pulsar beams, rolling walls of plasma, charging gamma-ray bursts, toxic nebulae hiding loot, plus pirate ambushes, elite marauders, and a capital-ship dreadnought that has to be broken before it jumps out.
Build a deadly arsenal. You fly; your weapons handle the rest. Draft from 20+ weapons, from the humble Pulse Blaster to legendaries like the Singularity Core and Solar Annihilator, then fuse a maxed weapon with the right passive to unlock one of fourteen screen-clearing evolutions.
Break the bullet-hell bosses. Every sector ends when a giga-asteroid boss warps in: Kernabos, Pulsar Heart, the Broodmother, Twin Shards, and Ouroboros Belt. Each is a multi-phase danmaku duel that gets faster and deadlier as it falls apart. Dodge the rings, spirals, and beams inside the arena, and tear it down.
No two runs alike. Seeded, roguelite runs keep the belt unpredictable. Each level-up offers three rarity-weighted upgrade cards; reroll or banish the ones you don't want. Spawns, events, and loot are all rolled fresh, so every run is its own story.
Go endless. Clear all five sectors to unlock The Void: a no-timer, ever-scaling boss gauntlet. Survive as long as you can and carve your name into the high-score board.
