About

"Ground-Unbound" is a procedurally generated high-intensity movement shooter with a retro wave art style and roguelike mechanics. Players can choose from a variety of guns and abilities to defeat the different enemy types, but will need to take a "leap of faith" off the edge of the world to progress. The game was originally created by one person in the 7-day BigFry game jam, and has since been expanded with additional content.
