StratoBash

Unique take on the level-climbing roguelite. Combat is Smash Bros style, where damage only serves to increase knockback range, and all KOs are ring-outs. The variety of "bashers" (weapons) gives you a lot of options in combat style. Each one is completely viable too, avoiding the "two or three good archetypes and a bunch of vendor trash" trap that many randomized games fall into. Staying alive isn't just a matter of not getting hit, it's about not being too close to the edge when you do, especially if your damage is high. Recovery is possible if you get knocked off, but you can't count on it, especially if you're on the lower platforms of a level.

So, think of Smash Bros, right? Nintendo's wild fighting game, where instead of smacking your opponent until they pass out, you try to knock them off the stage to score a KO. Well, it's like that, except in first person, and you punch eyeballs, except instead of punching you sorta throw rocks kinda? And it's all procedural and you have an inventory. Sometimes there's a boss or you solve a riddle, because why not. The game does a good job of explaining the basics. Y...
