The game
Chimpanzee Marketing 6 is a top-down pixel roguelite. Each run makes a new floor out of about ten rooms. You move with WASD and shoot with the arrow keys, and the doors don't open until everything in the room is dead.
Between fights there's a hunting grove where you shoot animals for money, a shady market that sells you random stuff, and shrines where you pray to gods and make choices that change the run. Each floor ends with a boss.
Windows only. Keyboard or controller. Free, but donations are welcome (needed, cause I'm broke). There's no demo yet: join the mailing list and you get the link when it's ready.
- Move and shoot separately, so you can run one way and shoot another.
- The floor is different every run, and there's a minimap.
- Items, level ups and money.
- Gods and rituals that change how a run plays.
- A home base that saves your progress.
- Bosses.
- Combat, treasure, hunting grove, sketchy market, shrine and boss rooms. And one more room I'm not telling you about.

About
I'm a 17 year old independent game dev who likes making the player experience brutal and addicting. I'm pretty inconsistent with working on projects, so long breaks do happen.
