A.K.O - Arrow Keys Only

If you've got a keyboard, you're ready.

A.K.O is a one-handed vertical roguelike. Your weapon fires automatically — you move, dodge, and swap elements to crack whatever the dungeon throws at you. Positioning and timing do the work.

Four elements, four playstyles

• Neutral — precise, tracking shots

• Fire — fast, aggressive spray

• Ice — heavy control and knockback

• Poison — area denial and sustain

Tap DOWN to swap. Time hitches for a split second. Match an enemy's element for bonus damage — ignore the read and pay for it.

Runs that actually change shape

35+ relics stack into synergies. Freeze enemies and shatter them. Leave fire trails behind your dash. Turn poison into healing. Two runs never feel the same.

Five pilots, five ways to move

• Pick — build your own kit

• Ward — slow, steady, hard to kill

• Kite — high risk, high damage

• Gaze — fast flight, hardest to control

• Mark — vertical power, strong and flexible

Push deeper through five procedural dungeons and their bosses. Layer on challenge modifiers — no healing, crumbling floors, half HP — and see how far you get.
