Overview
Platforms: Windows, Linux
Status: In development
Release date: TBD
You're a lone corporation contract worker sent to salvage lost cargo on a distant uncharted planet full of hostile lifeforms. Mow down waves of unique enemies earning access to better equipment and customize your weapons to suit your play style. Protect the cargo and live to collect your rewards.
Phobos Down is a twin stick shooter stripped down to the bare essentials. There is a player with three guns, swarms of enemies that need killing and a weapon upgrade system made as simple as possible. You can play unique randomized missions or weekly challenges where everyone play the same game and compete for the highest scores.
Note: The game is still in development. The current version is fully playable with all major gameplay mechanics implemented but it lacks a lot of planned content, balancing, and polish.

Development status
All core gameplay mechanics are implemented. What is missing is a ton of content and polish. Here's what you can expect in coming versions:
- More enemy variation including rare "boss" enemies
- More weapon modifiers
- More device drop pods
- Improvements to visuals and audio
The game is developed primarily for PC (Windows and Linux) with Steam Deck in mind. A mobile version is technically possible but I have not made a decision about it yet.
Known issues
No significant issues at the moment.
