Tenvader
Steam
Build. Dodge. Loop. Something’s coming.
Tenvader is a roguelike arcade shooter where you merge strange blocks to power up your ship and face waves of evolving enemies. Survive long enough, and the universe starts to break — time loops, enemies mutate, and a cosmic force begins to interfere.
Every block you place changes the way you play. Build smart. Fight hard. Try to remember what’s real.

🧱 Merge blocks to evolve your ship Collect and place block-shaped upgrades on your ship to boost stats, unlock weapons, or trigger powerful effects. Stack the same type of block to grow stronger — or fall apart trying.
🎯 Bullet hell meets puzzle building Move fast and think faster. Each round combines arcade dodging with quickfire building decisions.

⏳ Time pressure with real consequences After every wave, you get a block reward — but only if you finish in time. Fail, and the void may punish you with broken or cursed blocks.
🌀 Procedural loops, persistent tension As you dive deeper into the game’s loops, enemies become more unpredictable, boss fights twist, and the mysterious Overseer begins to watch your every move.
💥 Unique boss encounters Each boss introduces new mechanics and challenges. In higher loops, they gain new abilities — pushing you to rethink your builds and tactics.
👁️ Lore hidden in fragments Discover strange messages, events, and stage effects hinting at a larger mystery behind the loop. Who broke the cycle — and can you fix it?

Tenvader is part of a larger universe of strange, beautiful games by Rikerat — where nothing is stable, time is a circle, and even your ship might not survive the truth.
Are you ready to enter the loop?
