Jupiter Hell is a classic, turn-based roguelike set in a 90s flavored sci-fi universe. Set on the moons of Jupiter, the game pits a lone space marine against overwhelming demonic forces. Rip and tear zombies, demons and unmentionable monstrosities, using classic weaponry such as shotguns, chainguns, railguns and the trusty chainsaw. All to the shine of CRT monitors and the tune of heavy metal!
 
The Ground Gives Way is a roguelike focusing on randomness and improvised progression. No classes, races, XP, or character levels; progress is made by finding items and equipment. Lots of possible interactions with the environment and many interesting ways of using items.


== Features ==
== Features ==
* Tactical, turn-based combat with real-time responsiveness: Benefit from classic roguelike turns with modern shooter sensibilities. Controls are immediate and accessible while retaining the back-end depth of a turn-based RPG.
* Characters will be very different from game to game since progress depends on what you happen to find.
* Meaningful RPG progression: Customize your character with new weapons, items and abilities gained as you progress through a permadeath-prone hell. Beat the game to unlock more difficult challenges rather than grinding to make the game easier.
* Hundreds of items, monsters, services, traps, and features of different rarity that will make each game different from the last. No winner will look the same in TGGW.
* Randomized levels set all over Jupiter’s orbit: Blast through procedurally-generated civilian sectors, military space bases and mining colonies on the violent moons of Jupiter. Every playthrough you’ll find new ways to experience familiar settings.
* Most map features are interactive and have different effects on the player.
* Original shooter roguelike lineage: Jupiter Hell is built by [[ChaosForge]], the team that’s been making top-down, cosmic hell roguelikes since 2002.
* Very short game time. The game could be completed within an hour. However, the difficulty increases very fast.
