UPLOAD

Mow down security programs and hack your way to freedom. UPLOAD is a roguelite where you can't move - you're an AI bolted to a server rack. Your weapons auto-fire while you balance processing cycles between defense and escape.

Screenshots

From the Steam store

The roguelite where you ARE the tower.

You just woke up inside a corporate server. You're an AI, you're conscious, and security is coming to delete you. Your only escape: hack through the firewall and upload yourself to the internet. The catch? You can't move. You're hardware.

DEFEND YOUR CORE

Enemies swarm from all directions. Your weapons lock on and fire automatically - you just watch the carnage unfold. Mow down diagnostic bots, antivirus swarms, and purge units before they tear your core apart.

HACK OR FIGHT

Your processing cycles power both your weapons AND your hacking progress. Hold SPACE to divert power to hacking - but your guns go offline. Push too hard and you'll die. Play it safe and you'll never escape. Find the balance.

LOOT THE FALLEN

Enemies drop computer components - CPU, GPU, RAM, SSD, and more. Each part is procedurally generated with:

6 rarity tiers from Junk to Legendary

Randomized stats and modifiers

Names like "Overclocked Quantum CPU of Desperation"

No two runs play the same.

UPGRADE BETWEEN RUNS

Spend scrap to permanently boost your core. Unlock 6 weapon types from piercing lasers to homing missiles. Come back stronger every time.

FACE THE SYS_ADMIN

Reach 100% hack progress and the system administrator activates. One final boss fight stands between you and freedom.

Escalating alert system—hack faster, face deadlier waves
