Overview
Cytoblast is a top-down roguelite shooter that puts you in the role of a tiny amoeba with a gun. Developed and published by R1bka, this indie action title launched on Steam on October 13, 2026.
The game blends twin-stick shooting with roguelite progression, offering quick runs that typically wrap up in under 30 minutes. You'll blast through waves of strange microorganisms, collect a wild assortment of items, and experiment with different builds every time you dive into the petri dish.
Highlights
- Manual Shooting & Melee Ramming: The core combat isn't just about pulling the trigger. You can also ram enemies directly, and the description hints at even more combat types to discover.
- 200+ Unique Items: With over 200 items to collect and utilize, each run can feel dramatically different. Stack damage, summon pets, or find other creative ways to wipe out everything on the dish.
- 11 Playable Characters: Choose from a roster that includes Phage, Angler, Mother Orb, Nest, Clown, and more. Each character likely brings its own playstyle, adding replay value.
Who It's For
If you enjoy fast-paced roguelites like The Binding of Isaac or Enter the Gungeon, but want something with a quirky biological twist, Cytoblast should be on your radar. The short run length makes it perfect for quick sessions, while the build variety and character selection offer depth for those who like to theorycraft.
The game supports multiplayer, so you can also team up with friends to take on the microbial hordes together.
