About Vapormaze
ｖａｐｏｒｍａｚｅ is a roguelite first-person shooter in a vaporwave maze.
You are trapped in a maze of lies. To escape, you must find the truth. Shoot robots, jump spikes, buy guns, get upgrades, throw bombs and explode the system. Can you escape?
The game takes you through mazes filled with dangerous robots and obstacles. In each maze level, Helios will share his knowledge and ideas. Maybe you can reflect about them and find a meaning while wandering the corridors. Maybe not.
Death is permanent, but some progression is saved between runs.
Average session is between 20 minutes and 1 hour.
Features:
Physics:
Most objects are physically simulated. Your bullets have weight and can ricochet around. Getting punched by a heavy enemy will push you away, jumping into a wall will bounce you back. Enemies can also be punched out of your way.
Roguelite:
If you die, you lose your weapon, items and go back to the first maze. However, diamonds are forever, the upgrades bought at the diamond shop are permanent.Seven Procedurally Generated Mazes:
As you get deeper and deeper on the Vapormaze, the mazes become harder and more complex. New mazes are generated every playthrough.
Weapons:
A bunch of different weapons to suit different playstyles.Punch Gun:
Your own personal PunchGun™ that punches almost anything and allows you to throw stuff and enemies out of the way.Bad Robots:
Face bad robots that will try to kill you. Different bot types behave differently and try to attack you in different ways.
Vending Machines:
You'll find them around the maze. Buy the items you need to survive like ammo, health kits, new weapons and skill upgrades.Upgrades:
You can buy a plethora of different upgrades to increase your powers. All upgrades work simultaneously and stack with each other. e.g. if you got Multiply Bombs and Bomb Bullets, you're gonna throw multiple bombs and each of them will explode into bullets.
Awesome Soundtrack:
Some of the finest vaporwave music, crafted by Windows96.Helios Himself:
Not really, it is just a statue. He says interesting things though.

[h1] Inhale that vapor into your nostrils and feel the sadness of quirky executed game with some neat ideas. Roguelike FPS with vending machines and bad robots trying to annihilate humans. Collect cash and diamonds. Buy weapons, bombs, sentry guns, medkits and ammo. Good way is to place sentry in the middle of room to take care of pesky enemies without losing bullets. 2 guns - one is with infinite ammo but do minor damage, other one require ammo to shoot. Ammo is limited but can be bought at vending machines as well weapons and upgrades. Movement is a bit quirky making player stuck sometimes but nothing game breaking just jumping out of it usually helps. Goal is to survive through 7 mazes, each one gets more complex and difficult. AI leave much to be desired. Some enemies are stuck near walls or underneath something making it difficult to shoot them. Levels are filled with different trash slowing player down and making it a bit troublesome to navigate through. Music sounds like from some old VHS. Hard to recommend. If you like roguelike FPS better to play Tower of Guns or Mothergunship. [/h1]7 found this helpful
I almost A E S T H E T I C A L L Y broke my keyboard because of the mad jumps. Nevertheless, the game looks and sounds wonderful, especially if you are into these aesthetics/cores.1 found this helpful
just dont do it
Had the opportunity to test this game years ago. This game has alot of potential and it always reminded me of a retro ULTRAKILL. I loved it. Definitely everybody needs to give this game a try.
Wait for a discount, buy for trippy-ness and not for good FPS experience.
Mmmmm it's ok... although I was giving it actually a negative review. Basically, a FPS ''maze'' (name didn't lie) but in a vaporwave fashion.... which is difficult to enjoy due to how badly the screen is filled with stuff (I know that is the intention of the dev., but really couldn't enjoy). Plus, game mechanics are nothing uncommon and combine with the graphic engine makes the experience rather dull and confusing. Still, if you like this particular.... vibe?, this may still be for you.
