Brings what grabs you about Time Wasters: runs that differ every time, good gunplay and a sci-fi setting.

A fast arcade space shooter with roguelike runs: you blast alien swarms, collect scrap to power up your ship mid-run, and unlock new pilots and weapons between attempts.

Starward Rogue

Runs that play out differently every time

A roguelite bullet-hell shooter where you fight through randomly generated labyrinths inside a star, weaving through waves of projectiles while collecting weapons and upgrades. Each run feels different thanks to varied item combinations.

Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor

Runs that play out differently every time

A survivor-like set in the Deep Rock universe where a lone dwarf auto-shoots through alien swarms while carving through destructible rock for minerals. Synergizing weapon upgrades and persistent unlocks deliver that one-more-run pull.

Rocket Rats

Runs that play out differently every time

A humorous survivors-like shooter where you play as a rat in space, fighting waves of cheese-based celestial bodies, collecting cheese and upgrading your gear to conquer the moon.

Genome Guardian

Runs that play out differently every time

A top-down roguelite shooter set at the microscopic level, where you fend off hostile aliens with combinable turrets, perks and power-ups. The appeal lies in experimenting with many weapon combinations across quick runs.

Deadlink

Runs that play out differently every time

A fast cyberpunk first-person shooter with roguelite structure where you pilot a remote combat shell through corporate strongholds. Fluid movement, destructible environments and upgrades between runs drive the pace and replayability.

Gunlocked

Runs that play out differently every time

A sci-fi roguelike that plays like a twin-stick shooter without the aiming stick: you win through smart positioning and upgrade choices that exploit each weapon's unique auto-targeting. Every run pits you against swarms of alien ships.

Fur Squadron Phoenix

Runs that play out differently every time

An arcade on-rails space shooter where you play a trainee pilot flying through virtual worlds, upgrading your ship and defending the federation from a looming threat. Roguelike elements add variety to each run.

Xion

Runs that play out differently every time

An arcade shoot'em up in the spirit of the 90s with randomized levels, destructible voxel environments and end bosses. You build your own ship and blast through each run.
