Contraxis is a fast-paced arcade roguelite where you capture escaped prisoners in the prison city of Axis. Draw precise circles to bind enemies, summon them back as assists, and chain combos while dodging relentless hazards and bosses.
Gameplay
Every fight challenges you to outmaneuver unpredictable inmates who specialize in unique attack styles — from brute force charges to projectile storms and screen-filling AOE strikes. Capture enemies mid-battle to turn them into assists, letting you unleash their powers at key moments. Quick reflexes, smart positioning, and creative use of assists are the keys to survival.
Upgrades & Progression
Between battles, spend currency at the shop to grab temporary upgrades, extend your survivability, or enhance your tracing abilities. Earn Influence across runs to unlock permanent rewards, new assists, and harder modes. No two runs play the same, and each victory pushes you deeper into Axis.
Story
The city of Axis has erupted in chaos after a mass breakout. As Jay, wielder of the Light, it’s your duty to bring order back by binding escaped prisoners and facing the most dangerous leaders head-on. Each layer reveals new threats, culminating in high-stakes boss battles that test every skill you’ve learned.
