What is CUBEHEAD?
CUBEHEAD is a 2D top-down wave-survival shooter in the spirit of Boxhead. You are the lone operator — a blue-cube survivor caught inside a bio-containment site where the experiments got out.
Each wave floods the arena with infected. Survive it and the Armory opens, where you spend the cash you earned on weapons, gear and upgrades. Clear an area's waves and a boss blocks the exit. Fight through every area to finish the Campaign — or take any arena into Endless and see how long you last.
You start Wave 1 with only your fists. Punch through, earn your first cash, and buy the Sidearm before the horde grows teeth. From there it is pure gunplay.
