GRID/

GRID/ is an arcade-style boss rush action game built around combat with no additional systems. The player takes the role of the youngest Visual Debugger and fights Bug Entities, which are presented as the cause of trouble within a system. The game is now released on Steam and currently holds a Positive user review rating.

Combat takes place on a 7 by 6 grid. The player dashes between tiles, stays clear of squares marked as enemy attack zones and counters with two special moves, RUSH and ULT. There are nine boss battles in total, each with a different set of attacks to read and avoid.

Three weapons, referred to in-game as Debug Tools, are unlocked as the player progresses and can be swapped to suit a playstyle or a particular boss. The Sword is the baseline option, with fast movement, quick attacks and a wide-area ULT. The Gunner attacks from range but leaves the player exposed while reloading. The Hammer is a slower, heavier weapon that can absorb boss attacks, knock enemies back and use an ability called Pulse Plasma to remove incoming projectiles. The developer describes the game as suited to short play sessions and to players who like grid-based positioning and straightforward boss rush structures. Streaming is permitted, with the hashtag #GRIDSlash suggested.
