Fight
Engage in battle against demonic and angelic deities aimed to ensure your destruction. Featuring biblically accurate angels, leaping beast, and ominous eyes to put your skills to the test.



Upgrade your master
Items are a major part of your evolution through THE PIT, featuring a wide range of modifications, everything from stat bonuses, to unique abilities upgrades, to immense upsides and stark downsides to curate your gameplay. The most critical items are Ability upgrade items.



Ability Upgrades allow you to take control of your master and your way of playing them by upgrading your abilities with unique and interesting augments to empower your master. Whenever one of these items is acquired, you gain a skill point to allocate for a specific abilities upgrade tree, providing valuable utility, damage or functionality that will change how you play, things such as:
- Projectiles return to you
- Kills reset cooldown
- Duplicate area of effect
- Critical strike chance and damage
- Duplicate projectiles fired
- Increased damage per enemy hit
- And many, many more

Want to compete against your friends and online to see how long you can survive endless waves of enemies? There's a mode for that too!
And of course, online multiplayer to play with friends



This game is being developed by a sole PROGRAMMER developer, so while my goals for the game are lofty, they are certainly attainable and with enough support, I'll happily grind out community requests as well. Development has reached the alpha stages and I stress the programmer part as while some designs are set in stone, the visuals will go through many iterations and upgrades as time goes on!
