A downloadable game

Survival in a harsh desert. Dustbound is a top-down 2D extraction shooter where every run matters. Take control of your trampler — a legged, customizable desert vehicle that carries you and your equipment across the wastelands. Use its legs to traverse rough terrain, scavenge, loot, and return to your base.Between runs, upgrade and modify your trampler—enhancing its speed, durability, cargo capacity, and deck guns—tune your gear at the base, and get ready for the next dangerous run.

 One mistake out here and you lose everything you brought—your gear, your loot, even the trampler. Every choice counts, from which route to take to which loot to chase.

Key Features:

  • Extraction-Style Risk-Reward: Head into the desert to grab resources, but if the run ends badly, you lose all your equipment and the trampler too.
  • Customizable Trampler Base: Tweak and upgrade your ride between missions to boost survival odds.
  • Top-Down 2D Action: Smooth movement, smart navigation, and meaningful base interactions in a brutal desert setting.
  • Base Management: Keep tabs on inventory and trampler upgrades to set up stronger runs.

 Short, sharp sessions: Quick, focused runs that test planning, execution, and nerve.

 Playstyle:

In Dustbound, every run across the desert demands tactical planning, survival instincts, and quick, action-oriented movement. Each extraction is a test of risk versus reward, and the trampler is both lifeline and liability in the unforgiving desert.

 Status:

Early prototype — movement, base interactions, and inventory are in place. Enemies and hazards will be added.
