Press Kit

Short Description

In Nano Squadron, you're going to get hit. The question is whether your shield is ready when it matters. Pilot a nanobot-powered ship through escalating alien waves, build upgrade synergies, and survive long enough to face the boss.

Long Description

Nano Squadron is a top-down roguelite bullet heaven built around a single question: how long can you survive exposed?

Your nanobot-powered ship regenerates its shield between hits, but depleting it entirely triggers a longer recovery delay. That risk/reward tension defines every run. Push through waves unshielded to press your advantage, or retreat and wait for the recharge that keeps you in the fight.

Collect upgrades, build synergies, and adapt to escalating alien waves across a run that culminates in a boss encounter. Multiple unlockable ships and loadouts ensure no two runs play the same way.
