About this game

Survive the swarm!

Maku is a twin-stick bullet-hell survival roguelite experience where anyone can pick up and play!

Choose a character, each with a unique starting weapon and ultimate ability, and fight your way through thousands of monsters!

Grow in power!

As you fight, you'll collect new items, equipment, and pets to add to your build.

In-between runs, spend your coins for permanent upgrades to strengthen your arsenal and augment your deck-building.

Inverted Bullet Hell

Intuitive movement-focused controls allow you to focus on dodging and weaving through your enemies while you fire your weapons at the swarm. Coordinate your positioning to align with your firing patterns and timing to maximize your damage.

Power-Up!

Obtain new weapons and upgrades to create powerful builds and experiment with diverse synergies in order to defeat the world boss before time runs out. Collect coins along the way to unlock permanent upgrades and improve your future runs. Defeat bosses and complete challenges to unlock characters for your roster and progress to new worlds with increasing difficulty.

Increasingly Difficult Challenges!

Complete levels and challenges to unlock the skill-testing challenge modes, Hardcore and Demon mode. Alter your experience with the Endless mode. See how long you can survive and farm permanent upgrades in Endless mode.
