Recoil Foundry

Dead Signal is here.

The shift ended. The orders didn’t.

An abandoned communications wing is transmitting again. Take the upper exit after Furnace into the Transmission Annex: a new four-room route with six combat layouts, new machines, an original synth-rock theme, and factory records to uncover.

Five Subversion upgrades let you reboot fallen machines as temporary blue allies. Keep one stronger ally, or command a short-lived pair. Shoot charging junctions to interrupt hostile transmissions. Some things are better discovered inside the Annex.

Your gun is also your way out.

Shoot down. Go up. Recoil Foundry is a physics roguelike about building one absurd gun and surviving the factory around it. Every shot moves you. Every upgrade changes the next fight.

• One gun, 108 upgrades. Branch into different firing styles and find combinations worth building a run around.
• Twenty rooms. A new route after Furnace. Moving machinery, physical obstacles, changing layouts, and fights that punish standing still.
• A reason to come back. A Daily Run with a shared seed and fixed upgrades, a Workshop for builds, unlockable Practice fights, and a Logbook full of factory records.

The complete browser release. Free to play, with future fixes and updates still possible. There are a few things best discovered yourself.
