Stabby Machine

No micro-transactions, DLC, or in-game purchases. You get the full game for free!

Fast-paced action survival indie game with strategic choices!

Most games trick you! They make you believe you're improving at the game, when really you're unlocking things that make your in-game character more powerful. Stabby Machine will not deceive you like this. Except for when you unlock an ability (you unlock it quickly; the reason you don't start with it unlocked is just to smoothen the learning curve), when you beat your high score, it's because you really are doing better!

Because of this, Stabby Machine is a very difficult game.

Survive for as long as possible by collecting batteries, which are dropped by enemies!

Watch out! Your battery power drains faster and faster the longer you've been playing.

You must choose wisely how many enemies to spawn. Too few and you'll run out of batteries, but too many and you'll be overrun!

Controls:
Stabby follows the mouse (alternatively you can use W A S D).

You MUST GO CLOSE TO enemies to make them charge, then react quickly to dodge them!
If you succeed, the enemy becomes vulnerable and you can run up to it to stab it.

If you want a difficult open-ended challenge to overcome, then this game is certainly for you!

If you want to casually enjoy a new experience, this game can give you that too.

Enjoy!




Strategy

You choose how many enemies to spawn, and you choose when they charge at you. Different enemies spawn at different times.
This means you have to continuously make a tactical decision: How many of this type of enemy can I handle?

Feel free to write a review, it would help a lil' indie developer out a great deal!
