—Destroy aliens, dash between planets, and buy powerful upgrades. Exodemic is a compact roguelike that combines frenetic shoot 'em up gameplay with a procedurally generated overworld filled with vendors, trading hubs, and combat encounters. Race against the clock to save the human race.
A deadly virus has been weaponized and threatens the human race. Do you have what it takes to stop it in time?

With every passing second, the virus spreads. Destroy enemies as quickly as possible while dodging their attacks by dashing and warping between planets in adrenaline-pumping combat encounters. Your contagion meter tracks the progress of the infection throughout the sector. Time is of the essence--if the meter fills, it's game over.

Each run takes place on a procedurally generated map filled with a variety of vendors to help you accomplish your mission of clearing out all hostile enemies in the sector. Choose your path strategically! Each encounter gives the virus time to progress.

Your ship is equipped with augment slots that allow you to strengthen the effect of your weapons and dash. Enemies drop scrap when destroyed that can be used to buy stronger augments from vendors and other outposts that you encounter during your run. Discover synergies and over-powered combinations to wipe out enemy hordes with ease.
