Night Machine

Cooler Game Studios, Caketown Interactive

We’ve just learned the Moon is a giant alien doomsday factory, which is kind of a bummer. You've been chosen to operate a spaceship into the core and destroy it for us. Think fast, adapt under pressure, and deploy powerful combinations as you fight your way through in this real-time card battler.

Hello, trainee.

By now you're probably aware that the Moon has experienced a "catastrophic incident." It turns out there's been a gigantic alien machine hiding in there, which is awake now, and we're really not too happy about it.

Your mission is to enter the Moon, make your way to its core, and shut it down permanently.

This is an entry-level position. For your convenience, your ship has been equipped with our latest card interface. Simply feed instructions into the onboard computer and it'll execute them, no experience necessary.

You'll be fine!

Or maybe not. We really can't say.

We've prepared a much longer briefing, but in the interest of time... we're just going to let you get in there and figure it out yourself.

We're all counting on you!

More stuff you might want to know about:

  • Real-time Card Battles: Play cards in the moment, using your reflexes to take advantage of timing-based effects

  • Card Management: Manage your hand, keeping the cards you need from getting discarded

  • Patch Card system: Modify cards on the fly for high-reward combos

  • Multiple ships: Each with distinct loadouts and playstyles

  • Roguelite progression: Unlock new ships and ship mods across runs
