Super Safe Spelunking

Super Safe Spelunking is a top-down, roguelike SHMUP where players take on the role of a new employee at Super Safe Mining co. They are equipped with a multi-tool which can take the form of a variety of different weapons and must battle their way through level segments of deadly traps and rogue employees before defeating a boss to return to their base camp. With every level segment that they clear in a run, players can empower themselves with a choice between three upgrades to assist against the increasing threat of enemies.

This game was produced under the guidance and mentorship of MAXART as a part of the capstone units of the Bachelor of Games and Interactive Environments at QUT.
