GRIDNOVA is a top-down bullet heaven roguelike set on a neon digital grid.

Each level-up offers a choice of weapons and upgrades; pairs of weapons unlock synergies, and fully upgraded weapons can evolve into stronger forms.

Every week brings a new mutator that changes the rules of each run, along with a weekly challenge and online leaderboards.
