Upgrade. Evolve. Dominate. Nanostorm is an incremental 2D arcade Shoot'em'up game where you get stronger with every death. Invest nano essence in new abilities and powerful perks.
They left you for dead. Now, unleash the Nanostorm.
Nanostorm is an incremental 2D arcade shoot'em'up game where you get stronger with every death. In the game, defeated enemies drop Nano-Essence, which you can spend in a massive skill tree on new abilities and powerful perks.
Stranded and alone after crash-landing on a deadly alien world, you discover that death isn't the end – it's the fuel for your rebirth.
Dive into Nanostorm, a fast-paced, horizontal incremental shoot'em'up. Obliterate endless waves of vicious pixel-art monsters and harvest the vital nano essence they bleed. Pour this essence into a vast skill tree, unlocking game-changing perks that transform you into an unstoppable force.
You start weak, but soon you will evolve into the storm. Gather enough strength to finally activate your ship's emergency warp core and escape this forsaken planet!
