God of Strafe

Your weapon fires automatically. You only do three things: move, pick up, choose.
God of Strafe puts a hand-drawn cosmos, top-down bullet hell and loot-driven buildcraft into the same short run. Every wave pushes the battlefield denser. Every boss rewrites the rules you have to survive by. Dying costs you little — the next build will be different.
The moon-phase board
Your build lives on a moon-phase board: six phase slots arranged in a ring, with a double-faced core seated at the center. Each of the 24 chips leans toward firepower, defense or trigger chains, and neighbouring slots affect each other. Each of the 8 cores has a full-moon face and a new-moon face — flipping it flips your whole approach. Chips and cores carry rarity, affixes and multiplier rolls, so no two copies of the same build are alike.
Ten gods, ten grammars of bullets
From the seven planetary gods to an alien flagship, each of the ten bosses has its own bullet grammar and phase structure. One cuts the ground you just left. One rotates three bodies through the arena. One weaves its fire into a net that breathes. They are not tougher trash mobs — each one makes you relearn how to dodge.
Kill, claim, go again
Beating a boss opens a loot window: drops scatter along an arc and you have seconds to decide what to take. Chips and cores come with you into later runs and become the foundation of the next build. In-run you also get 10 instant buffs and 10 relics — enough to turn a run around, or to bury it completely.
Ten tiers, then endless
Ten difficulty tiers unlock in order, each raising enemy density, speed and damage. Past the last tier, endless layers keep climbing with no ceiling. Every run records time, kills, score and final build, so you can jump straight back in and test the next setup.
Forge your own enemies
Built-in local mod management and editing: no code required — JSON config plus your own art, animation and sound, and you have enemies, bosses, buffs or relics. Content loads at the start of the next run, with no online service and no Workshop dependency.
