Games Like GALAK-Z (2026)

Shared: Permadeath, Roguelite

A top-down bullet-hell roguelike that has eaten more hours than any shooter I've touched this year, and it controls like a twin-stick arcade cab running at a locked 60fps.

If you can survive the humbling that comes with your first hundred deaths on a single level, Geometry Dash will hand you one of the most satisfying feedback loops in the rhythm-platformer genre.

Surviving alone was already brutal - surviving with friends who make catastrophic decisions is another beast entirely. A deep, unforgiving co-op survival game that rewards patience, preparation, and someone on the team who knows what a Science Machine actually does.
