Overview

STASIS PROTOCOL is a cyberpunk pixel-art auto-shooter from developer and publisher JinCycle, released on Steam on November 11, 2026. The premise flips the usual shooter burden: every weapon you own fires on its own, so the challenge shifts from aiming to reading the screen. You weave through bullet curtains, hunt for gaps, and shape your build one reward at a time across a run-based structure.

Highlights

  • Automatic fire lets you focus on dodging and positioning rather than trigger discipline, which suits the bullet-hell and bullet-heaven tags the game carries.
  • The run is built around 50 floors spread across 5 worlds, starting with environments such as Neon Alley and Dust Frontier.
  • It sits in the action roguelike and roguelite space, with top-down shooter and arcade framing, and supports multiplayer categories on Steam.

Who It's For

This one is aimed at players who enjoy bullet-hell dodging but prefer build-crafting over manual aiming. If you like roguelites where each reward nudges your loadout in a new direction, and you appreciate a neon-soaked pixel aesthetic, the loop should feel familiar. Fans of top-down arcade shooters who want a more relaxed trigger finger will also find the auto-fire design appealing.
