Escape Pandemonium alone or with a friend in this retro-hard, cursed arcade game inspired by survivors games and classic shmups. You're invincible, except to flames, but the denizens of Pandemonium will gleefully push you into the fire. Gain XP to learn new spells and upgrade your magic. This game will make you smash your controller and punch holes in your drywall, but like, in a good way.

Escape the nine levels of Pandemonium, and fight nine bosses who are totally evil jerks. Ascend Mitharune's floating castle for an epic showdown and make your escape.

Very, very, very difficult, but challenging!

But in an instant you're swooped up and into the flames. Noooooooo!
I was thrilled by the Makai-mura-like appearance of the stage selection screen, and the enhancements through the XP system were very fun and good.
I was proud to say that I was good at the game, but I couldn't see any clue to the strategy and lost, MEOW~!

I don't think I'll ever be able to replicate my success of my first run of the game. Still fun though! Great work.

Wow, I'm really impressed! The sound design, art, and everything is just so fresh, but still cohesive. Way more depth than I was expecting, too. I definitely suggest playing with a controller.

Really hope you keep working on this!!!

I have faced some performance issues while playing with the browser. Apart from that I really liked the music and sound effects. Keep up the good work.

Yeah it's a little rough in the browser! Definitely recommend this Windows version for a smoother experience. Thanks for trying it out!
