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.

<h2 class="bb_tag" >If you've got a keyboard, you're ready.</h2>A.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.<h2 class="bb_tag" >Four elements, four playstyles</h2><ul class="bb_ul"><li>Tap DOWN to swap elements. Time hitches for a split second so you can make the read.</li><li>Neutral paints targets for follow-up damage.</li><li>Fire burns fast and hits hard.</li><li>Ice slows, shoves, and sets up shatter damage.</li><li>Poison leaves clouds, spreads pressure, and turns space into a weapon.</li><li>Match an enemy's weakness and you hit harder. Fire into a resistance and you will feel it immediately.</li></ul><h2 class="bb_tag" >Runs that actually change shape</h2>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.<h2 class="bb_tag" >Five pilots, five ways to move</h2><ul class="bb_ul"><li>Pick — build your own kit</li><li>Ward — slow, steady, hard to kill</li><li>Kite — high risk, high damage</li><li>Gaze — fast flight, hardest to control</li><li>Mark — vertical power, strong and flexible</li></ul>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.<h2 class="bb_tag" >All procedural</h2>Visuals, music, and sound are generated from code at runtime. No assets. The entire shipping build is 11 MB.<h2 class="bb_tag" >Dedicated Dev</h2> Expect frequent updates and longterm support! Reach out and connect any time. Sometimes I even respond!!!!!
