Play now and earn your freedom in this action-packed upgrade odyssey!
How to Play
Salvagette blends strategic decision-making with pure action adrenaline in a turn-based bullet-hell format. As soon as you start, you command a ship locked in a class warfare arena. The action unfolds in discrete turns—on your move, plan carefully: swipe in any of the four cardinal directions (up, down, left, right) to navigate the grid. Swipe directly into obstacles or enemies to deal damage and clear your path, but always anticipate incoming projectiles! Hazardous bullets and enemy attacks fill the arena after each movement, so study their patterns and plan your turn to maximize safety and destruction.
After each wave, collect upgrades and enhance your ship. There are four upgrade paths tailored to different playstyles: boost your movement, amplify your attacks, fortify your defenses, or mix for a balanced approach. Each upgrade has multiple levels, so revisit your strategy often.
Keep an eye out for unique enemy behaviors—each of the 11 enemy types (and their elite forms) brings new challenges, from aggressive rushers to cunning snipers. Survive long enough to reach an ending, and you’ll unlock permanent new music tracks and reveal more of the game’s secrets.
Beginner tips: Focus on learning enemy patterns early on, don’t rush—study before you move, and prioritize upgrades that match your playstyle. After each run, watch your replay to spot areas for improvement and keep pushing for those hidden endings!
