Boom Buddies

It's not bad but wish there were bosses.

I've enjoyed it so far. My only issue is that the reroll system is broken. Instead of rerolling new items, it just reshuffles the options you already have >.<

Unique concept and executed well. Worth a shot for fans of the genre looking for a very relaxed take on it

Boom Buddies, developed and published by Nightloop, is a compact indie action game that blends bullet-hell mechanics with roguelite progression and arcade-style score chasing. The game focuses on short, intense survival sessions where players attempt to defeat waves of enemies while building powerful combinations of upgrades. Rather than relying on complex storytelling or expansive levels, Boom Buddies embraces a minimalistic design philosophy that emphasizes replayability, experimentation, and the thrill of gradually improving performance over repeated attempts. One of the most distinctive aspects of the game is its unusual approach to movement. Unlike most shooters or roguelite survival games where the player constantly navigates the environment, Boom Buddies places the character in a fixed position at the center of the arena. Enemies spawn around the edges of the screen and steadily move inward, forcing the player to rotate and fire in different directions to defend against incoming threats. This design transforms the typical bullet-hell formula into a defensive challenge where quick aiming and efficient enemy elimination become the primary survival skills. Each session begins…

It's fun and silly. I like it. Would be cool if it had some more setting options. Like a volume slider.
