I was going to close the playtest tomorrow. Then a Mac player asked to get in. New plan: it's staying live, and it's now on Windows + Mac. The arena folds while you fight. Come break the geometry. store.steampowered.com/app/4730300/Soliton_Burst/ #indiegame #survivorslike #macgaming

one of the doors says it skips straight to the boss. obviously i went in. Mid-run the game opens three doors, each with its own deal. This one folds the arena into a sphere and hands you the Antipode Hunter early. Wishlist on Steam #indiegame #survivorslike #bulletheaven #FollowFriday

killed the boss. the arena took it personally. The moment The Behemoth goes down, the shape it lived on starts disintegrating under you. Killing the boss is how you break the level. Wishlist on Steam #indiegame #survivorslike #bulletheaven #FollowFriday

which card would you pick? Clear the horde, fill the bar, and the run stops to hand you three cards: Maelstrom, Anvil, or Hound. The whole game is that choice, again and again. Wishlist on Steam #indiegame #survivorslike #bulletheaven #WishlistWednesday

SolitonDev @solitonburst.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

what shape even is this? It's a Klein bottle. A surface with no inside and no outside, and the whole arena is one. The fight just wraps around it. Wishlist on Steam #indiegame #survivorslike #kleinbottle

SolitonDev @solitonburst.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

every survivors-like throws a horde at you. mine doesn't know when to stop. Same run, a few seconds apart: a handful of enemies, then a wall of them. Same arena, same weapons, a lot more to kill. Wishlist on Steam #indiegame #survivorslike #bullethell #ScreenshotSaturday

SolitonDev @solitonburst.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

every survivors-like starts you with one weapon. it does not stay that way. Same arena, same swarm. The only thing that changed here is the build: one starter weapon, then six evolved weapons deleting the same crowd. Wishlist on Steam #indiegame #survivorslike #bullethell

SolitonDev @solitonburst.bsky.social · 21/06/2026

every survivors-like aims for you. this one lets you turn that off. Most survivors-likes auto-fire at the nearest enemy. One character here doesn't: you aim every weapon by hand and fire where you point, past the horde if you want. Wishlist on Steam #indiegame #survivorslike #bullethell

SolitonDev @solitonburst.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

normal survivors-like. then the floor has a final boss. A few seconds of an ordinary run, then the whole arena erupts into the Wyrm of Naberus and the serpent is the entire fight. Wishlist on Steam #indiegame #survivorslike #bullethell #ScreenshotSaturday

SolitonDev @solitonburst.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

same survivors-like. then the floor stops being flat. Same fight the whole way through. Same weapons, same horde, same run. Then the whole arena is a Möbius strip and you're fighting around the twist. Wishlist on Steam #indiegame #survivorslike #FollowFriday

30 seconds in. 8 minutes in. Same survivors-like run. It opens on a calm sphere, and by minute eight it's a hyperbolic disc buried in beams. Wishlist on Steam #indiegame #survivorslike

the enemies form an orderly queue here The arena is a spiral, so the horde flows along it in one stream. The combo climbed past x240 while it lasted. Wishlist on Steam #indiegame #survivorslike #WishlistWednesday

before we get weird: the ball It's a ball. Enemies walk around it, bullets curve around it, there is no edge to run off. The normal one. Wishlist on Steam #indiegame #survivorslike #TrailerTuesday

would you give up auto-aim for this? Every weapon fires exactly where you point, all at once. That whole fan of lasers is one aim stick. No auto-targeting. Wishlist on Steam #indiegame #survivorslike

three doors. which one are you walking through? Each door folds the arena into a different shape. I read all three menus and went back to farming. Wishlist on Steam #indiegame #survivorslike

i brought a skewer to the worm fight The end boss is a worm with 24 segments. Pierce damage stacks per segment, in theory. In practice it is chasing me. Wishlist on Steam #indiegame #survivorslike #ScreenshotSaturday

the arena speedran six universes Ball, donut, möbius strip, klein bottle, curved space, wormhole. The fight didn't stop for any of them. Neither did the boss. Wishlist on Steam #indiegame #survivorslike #ScreenshotSaturday

SolitonDev @solitonburst.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

i picked the door labeled 2× spawn density Mid-run the game offers a choice of doors. This one doubles the pace and folds the arena into a möbius strip. Worth it. Wishlist on Steam #indiegame #survivorslike #FollowFriday

the arena started uninstalling itself There is a countdown, a red wall eating the world, and a warning that says LEAVE NOW. We are farming. Wishlist on Steam #indiegame #survivorslike #FollowFriday

SolitonDev @solitonburst.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

would you even call this a survivors-like anymore? The whole arena is curved space, so every bullet bends along it instead of flying straight. Wishlist on Steam #indiegame #survivorslike

this character gets stronger when the music does Fast track, faster guns. Slow track, the whole arena slows down. The equalizer in the corner is not a decoration. Wishlist on Steam #indiegame #survivorslike

i disguised my survivors-like as a geometry wars clone The first six seconds are the disguise. Then the arena folds into a globe mid-fight and the swarm follows you around it. Wishlist on Steam #indiegame #survivorslike #WishlistWednesday

remember geometry wars? Same neon vectors, same particle bloom. Now the grid curls into a whole spiral and the fight wraps around it. Wishlist on Steam #indiegame #survivorslike #WishlistWednesday

survivors-like, but what would you even call this shape? The whole arena warps into the inside of a tunnel and the fight curves around you. Wishlist on Steam #TrailerTuesday #indiegame #survivorslike

not bullet hell. not bullet heaven. something else entirely. Soliton Burst is in Steam Bullet Fest this week. A survivors-like where the arena morphs into shapes that shouldn't hold a fight. Wishlist it if that's your kind of weird. Wishlist on Steam #TrailerTuesday #indiegame #survivorslike

I'm a solo dev from Melbourne, Australia working on my latest project, Soliton Burst. It's a Geometry Wars / survivors-like mashup where the gimmick is 3D rendered in 2D. store.steampowered.com/app/4730300/…

SolitonDev @solitonburst.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

My new game, Soliton Burst, is in Steam Bullet Fest this week. A survivors-like where the arena keeps folding into something new. Torus. Möbius strip. Klein bottle. 90+ weapons that curve with the geometry. Wishlist now and you'll see this thing keep changing shape.

Mid-fold gameplay screenshot of Soliton Burst. The arena is transforming from a Torus into a Möbius strip, with cyan and pink wireframe shards radiating from the centre. The player ship is in the middle of combat with red diamond enemies, with floating damage numbers and a Magnetar beam visible. HUD shows wave, level, score, and combo counters.
