Overview
Glintwave is a single-player bullet-heaven roguelite from Karmikal Apps, released on October 9, 2026. The core loop is simple: pick a hero, walk into the wilds, and let the horde come to you.
Your weapons fire automatically, so your only job is to move, choose upgrades, and gradually turn a few pellets into a screen-filling storm of projectiles. It's a formula that fans of the genre will recognize instantly, but Glintwave puts its own spin on it with a set of distinct worlds to explore.
Highlights
- Auto-firing combat: Weapons fire on their own, letting you focus purely on positioning and dodging.
- Roguelite progression: Each run offers upgrade choices that shape your build, encouraging repeated attempts.
- Diverse environments: From a sunlit jungle to a neon-lit city overrun by subway creatures, and a swamp, each world offers a different visual and tactical flavor.
Who It's For
If you enjoy games like Vampire Survivors or other bullet-heaven titles, Glintwave should feel right at home. It's also a good pick for anyone who likes action roguelites with a casual, pick-up-and-play pace.
The pixel art style and top-down perspective keep things readable even when the screen fills with projectiles.
