Voidburn
Extremely addicting! High frame rate! Space dogfighting! Cosmic horror!
Voidburn is an EARLY DEVELOPMENT twin stick bullet heaven shooter with fast-paced, responsive movement mechanics. Fight hostile aliens that alter the mechanics and restrictions of the game world in combat that is easy to learn but hard to master.

Unique mechanics:
- Vectorscope scanner: collect strange sounds that are also images. Literally.
- Shift engine: use humanity's newfound power to shift between planes as a fun and intuitive "dodge roll"
- Absurdity: alien worlds with alien ways of life and alien physics. Find common ground to gather information and spread humanity's influence.

Cool mechanics:
- Ship color, shape, and trail customization
- Gameplay-modifying enemy drops, consumables, deployables, and technology
- Rifts: portals to pocket dimensions with strange challenges to complete
- Blueprints: collect alien tech salvage and make your own deployable gameplay modifiers
- Void stations: broadcast signals coming from everywhere and nowhere, playing music from every corner of the dimension

Features
- WEB VERSION! Fully running on web browsers with most controllers
- PROTON VERSION! Run through Steam for Steam Controller features!
