Space Huggers
About Space Huggers
Space Huggers is a fast-paced run-and-gun platformer that combines the chaos of Metal Slug with the replayability of a modern roguelike. What sets it apart is its fully destructible environment—every wall, floor, and ceiling can be blasted away, allowing you to create your own paths or destroy enemy cover. \n\nYou play as a lone space rebel infiltrating procedurally generated alien bases. Armed with a blaster and unlimited courage, you must dodge bullets, stomp enemies, and defeat massive bosses. With its pixel-perfect retro aesthetics and high-octane gameplay, Space Huggers is an instant classic for fans of action games.
