Short description
Mow down security programs and hack your way to freedom. UPLOAD is a roguelite where you can't move - you're an AI bolted to a server rack. Your weapons auto-fire while you balance processing cycles between defense and escape.
About this game
The roguelite where you ARE the tower. You just woke up inside a corporate server. You're an AI, you're conscious, and security is coming to delete you. Your only escape: hack through the firewall and upload yourself to the internet. The catch? You can't move. You're hardware. DEFEND YOUR CORE Enemies swarm from all directions. Your weapons lock on and fire automatically - you just watch the carnage unfold. Mow down diagnostic bots, antivirus swarms, and purge units before they tear your core apart. HACK OR FIGHT Your processing cycles power both your weapons AND your hacking progress. Hold SPACE to divert power to hacking - but your guns go offline. Push too hard and you'll die. Play it safe and you'll never escape. Find the balance. LOOT THE FALLEN Enemies drop computer components - CPU, GPU, RAM, SSD, and more. Each part is procedurally generated with: 6 rarity tiers from Junk to Legendary Randomized stats and modifiers Names like "Overclocked Quantum CPU of Desperation" No two runs play the same. UPGRADE BETWEEN RUNS Spend scrap to permanently boost your core. Unlock 6 weapon types - from piercing lasers to homing missiles. Come back stronger every time. FACE THE SYS_ADMIN Reach 100% hack progress and the system administrator activates. One final boss fight stands between you and freedom. FEATURES Stationary survival roguelite —you're the tower, not the builder Auto-targeting weapons let you focus on the hack-or-fight decision Procedural loot with 17 part types and 6 rarity tiers Escalating alert system —hack faster, face deadlier waves Boss fight —defeat the Sys Admin to complete your upload Meta-progression —permanent upgrades and weapon unlocks CRT terminal aesthetic with procedural synth soundtrack 24 achievements and Steam leaderboards
