ESCAPE FROM THE BLACK MONOLITH is a short but tough fast-paced shooter that lets you GUN your way down a vertiginous SKYSCRAPER. Glide around the building, unlock weapons, and shoot down all of the monolith's evil guardians! Micro FPS made by a solo developer for a game jam, then enhanced for Steam.

About
The Black Monolith is slowly but surely tightening its grip on all of humanity. None can escape its influence, and none can resist its allure. Deep down, everyone knows that something is terribly wrong, but the Rock brothers, architects of the Black Monolith, remain vigilant and prevent us from connecting the dots. They even engineered the Van Mut sisters to rule over us.
However, right under their noses, one of their agents lifted the veil of illusion. He seized one of the last flickers of hope, with the objective to assemble the full set of artefacts that can shine a beacon for humanity and break through the programming. That agent is you. Pick up your gun. Escape from the Black Monolith.
6 bosses
7 enemy types
4 weapons
3 pieces of armor
Micro FPS made by Vorelian (creator of Little Survivors) for a game jam, slightly extended and polished for Steam. The progression now features rogue-lite elements, orient your next boss encounter to obtain rewards in a unique order for a unique run!
The game is fairly short (15-20 minutes if you don't die), but difficult to get into (you must avoid turning to look behind you, and you need to learn how to deal with each new dangerous enemy). You should probably expect a few tries before you get the hang of it. Good luck, champion!

This is tuff, where the goats come to play, what even is this and why is it so damn fun? This is criminally good for free try it! Jump out a window right now and killstreak all the way down chud.
Super unique twist on a boomer shooter with some straight up nuts gameplay in the later levels. Good power scaling too, the super shotty is super addicting!

Такая себе бредятина.
It's a really good little game; I find it simple to play, and the lack of checkpoints makes me want to try again every time. The random boss mechanic keeps the game from feeling too repetitive, and I like being able to choose which boss to face based on the item drop. One minor downside, though, is that weird creature that eats you if you turn around; I feel the warning at the top isn't visible enough. Overall, I’d recommend this free-to-play game to anyone who enjoys fast-paced games.
[h1]像素突突突到停不下来♥[/h1] 复古FPS,从一栋赛博朋克摩天大楼里杀出去,四把武器换着抡,六个boss挨个收拾,节奏快得手指头都跟不上。 肉鸽元素加进去之后每局都不一样,死了重来,地图重新刷,越打越上头。像素风画面配快节奏射击,那种老派FPS的爽感直接拉满。 微缩版FPS,流程不长,但胜在短平快,一把接一把根本停不下来。手感扎实,打击感在线,这个体量做成这样已经可以了。 DLC是支持包,不买也能玩,纯看你觉得值不值得给开发者支持。 we need chinese!!! [h1]摩天楼中枪未歇,像素飞弹破重围♥[/h1]
It's so close to being a fun game, but at the same time, there are some ridiculously unfun mechanics that completely ruin it. The game has permadeath and various jank and BS that kills you, which is a terrible combination. Don't turn around, you will instantly die. Due to the way enemies move and muscle memory from pretty much every other shooter in existence, you will turn around occasionally. You will die immediately with no way to avoid it and have to restart the game from the beginning. Movement is extremely restricted in a very unintuitive way. Almost every death was due to running into invisible walls while trying to evade projectiles. How am I supposed to know how to dodge bullet hell barrages if I don't even know where I'm allowed to move? Enemies can hit you from off screen. Combined with the bad camera and thick clouds that make enemies invisible, it's really easy to get randomly shot and not know what hit you. You hit E to progress text boxes instead of space bar or left click. This isn't remotely on the same level as the bad gameplay, but it's annoying. There's no option for instant text loading or skipping conversations you've already seen. Since the game has permadeath and chatty bosses with incrementally loading text, it gets annoying fast. I think all my other complaints are bundled with the permadeath and how cheap and easy deaths are. Combat feels overly simplistic and enemies are basic and repetitive, but that's probably because I kept replaying the first few minutes of the game over and over. Still, since that's apparently the intended experience, I think it's a valid issue. I did really like the graphical style and overall theme of the game. Combat was fun and interesting on my first run until I randomly died by running into an invisible wall while trying to evade some bullet spam. The game has potential, but it's way too rough and flawed to be anything but frustrating in its current state.
Fun game - looking forward to escape the mind control of the black monolith, even if only within the confines of this game :)

A fun little game with some interesting gameplay ideas, the soundtrack and atmosphere are really great too, it's definitely worth checking out ! I would have liked to see a bit more progression or a roguelite ingredient to make it easier to learn, but maybe that will come in a future update.
