DarkFire (+18)
A downloadable darkfire for Windows
DARKFIRE
Hold the rooftop. Save your last mag. Stay yourself.
The lights went out across the city. Whatever replaced them isn't here to kill you. You hold one rooftop, one rifle, and a corruption gauge that fills every time something gets a hand on you.
▎ ⚠️ Adults only — features explicit pixel-art content embedded in gameplay (capture sequences triggered by the corruption mechanic). ⚠️

DARKFIRE is a 2D side-view stationary survival shooter with roguelite progression. You don't move — you aim, shoot, reload, switch, and burn through what's left of your inventory before the dark climbs the wall. Twenty waves split across three acts, each capped by a boss. Die, keep your permanent upgrades, try again.

Coming up as malware. Not sure why.
Can you share me how it looks like? What happened exactly?
I think it's honestly my antivirus. I looked it up online, it can happen with relatively new programs that haven't made their way around the internet yet. I got it to work. Thanks for the response! Game is kinda tough.
Love the animations. I like how different enemy types can swarm the player especially type G. The gameplay is fun, however after stage 10, I wish there was more enemy variety and more enemy swarm capture mixes (like E + G capture).
How do you get the enemy G animation in gameplay? I can’t seem to get it to work. I thought it had to do something with becoming “groggy”, but the leech enemies have the same trigger condition and their animation triggers just fine
I cleared all 20 stages in the demo version.
What differences are there in the paid version?
omg that must be a problem...
Did you maybe upload the paid version as the demo by mistake...?
I fixed demo build, thank you for notice. Thank you so much...!
It is properly demo build, but it may seems like bug or something... Gonna work...
Very good animation, mediocre gameplay. I think more variation for bosses would be great
