Vermin

Hold the farm. Outlast the swarm.

VERMIN is a 2D top-down pixel-art arena shooter where survival is never guaranteed.
You are a farmer, alone on your land, facing relentless waves of vermin that only grow more aggressive with time.

There is no save system.
There is no mercy.
When you die, the run is over.

🐀 GAMEPLAY

Fight off escalating waves of enemies in a confined arena where positioning, movement, and weapon choice matter more than raw firepower. Every run is a test of endurance, awareness, and decision-making.

Weapons must be found and swapped on the fly, forcing you to adapt as the pressure increases. Mistakes are punished quickly, and survival depends on how long you can hold your ground.

A boss fight is planned and will be added in a future update.
