Check out new gameplay from Vegelypse, a new 2.5D roguelite beat-’em-up with a hard-rock soundtrack and multiple game modes that is perhaps best thought of as “Super Cactus Boy.”
Hand-painted 2.5 visuals will certainly remind you of Super Meat Boy, and if the action is anywhere close to as good, we’ll all be in for a treat. Developer Jumble Cat Studios sets up the fun and lighthearted story for this action game as such: “The Hard Rock Cacti band was rocking out when they were rudely interrupted by an onslaught of mutated produce monsters, and only they can punch, smash, and chop your way through this invasion of predatory produce.”
Perks, randomized modifiers, and an evolution system aim to keep the action fresh, while a score-driven Arcade Mode and challenge-based Arena Mode await after you’ve had your fill of the primary Story Mode.
Wishlist Vegelypse on Steam if you’re interested.
