Hello RSR fans!

If you enjoyed Rogue Star Rescues mix of decision-making and action-packed gameplay, youll love the strategic depth and intense challenges of INFEST 1.0.


Like Rogue Star Rescue, INFEST rewards smart thinking, bold strategies, and adapting to fast-paced scenarios. But this time, the stakes are even higher in an alien-infested roguelike deckbuilder with real-time physics and pixel-perfect combat mechanics.

Why INFEST is Perfect for Rogue Star Rescue Fans:
Tactical Depth: Think on your feet, just like in Rogue Star Rescue, but with a new deckbuilding twist.
Dynamic Worlds: INFESTs procedurally generated worlds will keep you guessing, just like the endless surprises of RSR.
Sci-fi Pixel Adventure: Dive into an alien universe filled with hostile environments and thrilling encounters.

After many years in development, INFEST leaves Early Access today! Be sure to catch the launch discount before it expires :)

The Chute Apps Team

I've been playing RTS games since the early 90s (civ, C&C, OG starcraft). Now we're making our own RTS game, where the goal is to build a colony in a land infest by 100,000 dinosaurs (we let them breed too much, and it got out of control).
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2768380/Repterra/
I'll also be running a private beta if you want access to the first playable version.

Stay tuned for more updates :)

Hello all!

V1.4.8 has just been released! We've been gathering continuous feedback in this time since V1.0, and we've been using it to improve the game. This update fixes some pesky bugs and adds more balancing to the items and guns. As always if something doesn't feel right let us know and we will make adjustments :)

ALSO

We've been super busy working on our other games. Specifically a spiritual successor to RSR called Extraktion 1943.

Extraktion 1943 is a roguelite extraction shooter set in Nazi Germany. Survive as a stranded Allied soldier behind enemy lines. Take on the Nazis solo or online with friends, sabotage enemy production, assassinate high-ranking officers, and build your hideout and resistance network. DEATH TO HITLER!

Hello Everyone!

I've updated RSR based on more of your feedback. This is mainly a balancing patch to make things a bit smoother.

If you have any more feedback feel free to reach out on my discord
I also have more ideas in the works for content updates, so stay tuned :)

-Carl

The day has come...Forest Fire is now ready to play in all its combustive glory!

Hello Everyone!

It's been a great year for RSR and we wanted to extend a THANK YOU to everyone who has played the game, joined the community, and helped us shape the game. We are so glad that the community is going strong and that we have a solid and battle-tested game :)

So what's next?

We will continue to post updates to the game as needed, though I wouldn't expect any major content updates any time soon. The RSR universe feels pretty complete for now (though not ruling out a sequel in the future).

We have been working hard on prototyping other games the last few months. Specifically we will be releasing Forest Fire next month. It's a bullet-hell roguelite game where you are the Forest Fire, and every pixel physically simulated. It's a hell of a lot of fun and I hope you will

Wishlist it!

Forest Fire is our new roguelite bullet-hell destruction game with a simple objective: Burn as much as possible. This may or may not include; trees, animals, housing, and those pesky humans. Every pixel is physically simulated and will spread your flame far and wide.
