Play as Lena, a lone fighter pilot standing against an endless onslaught of autonomous invaders. Pilot your linocraft fighter through waves of increasingly dangerous enemies in abstract vector arenas — dodging, weaving, and unleashing devastating firepower in every direction.

LINOVICTUS is a twin-stick shooter with vibrant visuals and more juice than your mama, with a bit of roguelite seasoning mixed in for an extra punchy finish.

The Loop

Fight through waves of enemies. Survive the stage. Shop for upgrades, reroll for better options, or save your edges. Then dive back in. Every few stages, face down a boss. How far can you go?

Your score multiplier grows with perfect play: clear waves without taking damage, collect pickups, chain combos. One hit and your multiplier starts over! Risk and reward, moment by moment.

Visit the Hangar between runs to spend Boss Codes and permanently upgrade your ships. Unlock additional hull slots to equip upgrades at the start of every run.
