Made a bullet-heaven roguelite where you're a cannabis farmer defending a hostile crop. Just went live on Steam. Trying to prove we can make something.
Hey r/roguelites,
Long-time lurker. Two of us just put a bullet-heaven roguelite on Steam. It's called Totally Hellish Chaos. Ten-minute runs. You play The Grower, a cannabis farmer whose crop turned hostile. The plants, the tools, the sheds. Everything wants you dead now.
Twelve enemies at launch. Kushgoyles that move slow and hit hard. Spuffers that hold their breath until they spot you, then they don't. Aromancers who cast on scent. A Mother Lode that eats more than she gives.
Not trying to reinvent the genre. Just want to make one that feels honest to the setting and lands the "one more run" hook. Team is me, my co-founder Noc, and a small crew.
Trailer's on the store page. Dropping the link in a comment because sub rules. Would love feedback from this sub. You all play more of these than anyone. Trying to figure out if the trailer sells the mechanics or comes across flat.
Steam Playtest going up when Valve approves. We submitted v0.6.5 yesterday. Drop a comment if you want in.
Thanks for reading. Trying to prove we can make something here.
