One hand. Four arrow keys. Your weapon auto-fires while you dodge, climb, and swap elements to survive. 5 pilots, 75 skins, 35+ relics, 10 trials. A tiny roguelike shooter built around a beautiful bad idea.
A.K.O - Arrow Keys Only
SteamA.K.O is a vertical roguelike shooter built around one rule: you only use the arrow keys.
Your weapon fires automatically. Your job is everything else: move, dodge, read the room, swap elements, pick relics, and keep climbing when the screen starts getting rude.
35+ relics stack into synergies. Freeze enemies and shatter them. Leave fire trails behind your dash. Turn poison into healing. Two runs never feel the same.
Push deeper through five procedural dungeons and their bosses. Layer on challenge modifiers — no healing, crumbling floors, half HP — and see how far you get.
Visuals, music, and sound are generated from code at runtime. No assets. The entire shipping build is 11 MB.
Expect frequent updates and longterm support! Reach out and connect any time. Sometimes I even respond!!!!!
