A roguelite shooter from the creators of RACE THE SUN, and the first title in the Whisker Squadron universe. Whisker Squadron: Survivor is a corridor shooter with a focus on roguelite survival and intense action that plays out in a continuous corridor environment with runs that last 30 minutes.

You’ll choose your loadout from an array of feline pilots, ships and weapons, and then embark on a run that will only get more intense with each wave. By harvesting scrap from your fallen foes, you’ll upgrade through a dazzling array of randomized upgrades, creating a unique build with each run.

Fans who are awaiting our 2023 space-faring adventure Whisker Squadron will want to try out Whisker Squadron: Survivor, which serves as an exciting introduction to the Whisker Squadron universe and its heroes and foes.

0.67.3 Released

Hey friends, the team has been working super hard on a major new content update!
One of the most requested features for this series is boss fights.

We have some BIG plans for end stage bosses coming soon, but in the meantime, we decided to redesign the "Elite" enemies in the game and turn them into epic miniboss fights.

Here's how it works:
There are (currently) 4 possible elites that will spawn in zone 5. They are the only thing in that zone, and we've done our best to make it feel really cinematic.

Game Description Image

There's even a mysterious "The Swarm" character speaking through them. What is it saying??

We'll be refining this system in the coming months and adding additional Elites.

Additionally, we've added a new secondary weapon called Precision Rocket Launcher.
Full patch notes below including lots of quality of life updates!
