About Space Huggers
Space Huggers is a tiny miracle: a full roguelike run-and-gun platformer with destructible terrain, squad mates and procedurally generated levels — originally built in just 13KB of code for the js13k competition by Frank Force. We host it ourselves (GPL-3.0), so it starts before you finish blinking.
Fight through randomly generated alien worlds, blast cover to dust, and recruit up to three squad members who fight alongside you. Every run is different, and every death is your own fault — the good kind of hard.
Controls
- WASD / Arrows: Move and aim
- Mouse / Z: Shoot
- Space: Jump (hold to climb ledges)
- X / Right-click: Roll dodge
Tips & strategy
- Terrain is destructible — shoot through floors to ambush enemies from above.
- Free your squad mates from capsules; three extra guns change everything.
- Rolling gives brief invincibility — dodge through rockets, not away from them.
Frequently asked questions
Why does Space Huggers load so fast?
The entire game is about 300KB — smaller than one photo — and we host it on our own servers.
Are the levels always the same?
No — they are procedurally generated, so every run is a new layout.
