A downloadable game for Windows

Description:

Atomancer is an accessible horde survival roguelite. As Hydro, the first atom after the Big Bang, you need to fight for survival among the void creatures that preceded it. Outmaneuver and fight hordes of increasingly stronger enemies to unlock a vast array of new weapons and upgrades. Survive for 10 minutes and ensure the future of our universe! 

Background:

Atomancer was made as part of the Game Project 1 course by students at FutureGames Stockholm and Karlstad. The game was originally made for 9–12-year-olds with potential mobility issues and it serves as an accessible alternative to other survivor-type games. The game was designed for the Xbox Adaptive Controller and the controls are limited to two buttons. It is accessible and easy to learn but takes a pro gamer to master. Don't expect to win on your first try.

Controls:

Atomancer is a single-player experience. Both the player character, the weapon upgrade selection,  and all the menus are controlled by only two buttons. The player is always moving and you steer it by turning it around.

  • Xbox Adaptive Controller: A/B
