ASCII Gunship
Read full descriptionHide full description
Your gunship is made of characters. So is everything trying to kill it. ASCII GUNSHIP is an arcade vertical shoot-em-up rendered entirely as a live terminal character grid — every ship, bullet, boss, and explosion is a glyph in a bright ANSI palette, wrapped in optional CRT scanlines. Drag to fly. Your cannons never stop. Tap the bomb when the screen fills with fire. Clear a wave, pick 1 of 3 upgrade cards — fire rate, orbiting drones, chain lightning levels, tail guns — and build a different gunship every run. Every fifth wave a multi-part ASCII boss fills the top of the terminal: shoot off its turrets, survive three escalating gun phases, salvage the credits. Spend salvage in the hangar on 8 gunships, each with its own passive and starting weapon — from the reliable RAPTOR to the drone-carrying PALADIN. Fight through 5 sectors with distinct procedural backdrops and enemy rosters, then loop them at MK-2 ferocity. FEATURES - Everything is text: a real-time character-grid renderer, zero sprite art - 8 weapons: VULCAN, SPREAD, LASER, HOMING MSL, WAVE CANNON, RIPPLE, TESLA ARC, PLASMA SNAKE - 18 upgrade cards, pick 1 of 3 between waves - 5 multi-part bosses with destructible parts and 3-phase patterns - 8 buyable glyph gunships with real passives - 5 sectors + endless MK tiers, chain multiplier up to x9 - CADET / VETERAN / ACE difficulty, CRT scanline toggle - Offline, private, no accounts, no tracking - No ads, no paywalls — every ship earnable in-game (optional tip jar) Fly. Fire. Pick a card. Beat your best.
