DATÆRASER

DATÆRASER is a 2D shoot 'em up, based on retro classics mixed with few bullet hell elements. It was made in 9 days for the Godot Wild Jam #78 - Topic "Erase".

Oh no! Carelessly, you - a dangerous data-shredding computer virus - have been downloaded from the internet. Now it is your job to destroy as much data as possible (and achieve the highest score in the online leaderboard!)
New web build and windows .exe is online since March 2. 2025 22:00 o clock.
(After GWJ Results have been posted)

Please use the downloadable file for the best experience. (Sowweyyy!)
We used a lot of shaders, the web build will have some shader compilation stutter / lags / in the first playthrough.

Full keyboard and controller support with key rebinding.

Default controls:
W A S D or Arrow Keys for movement.
Continous Fire = Space or Circle (PS4 Controller)

Single Fire (not a good Idea) = Space or Quad (PS4 Controller)
