Vignette

Vignette is a fast-paced roguelike where the screen is the UI.

No cluttered menus. No hand-holding.
Information is communicated through vignette effects, particles, screen shake, and controlled chaos.

Survive as long as you can, rack up kills, and trigger a rage state that pushes everything further. Enemies grow more aggressive, effects intensify, and the game deliberately spirals. If it feels overwhelming, that’s the design.

Chase high scores and see how long you can last.
(Scores don’t save yet, so write them down like it’s 2009.)

This is my first game and a complete core experience. Some elements are intentionally minimal, but the main gameplay loop is finished and polished as far as I could take it.

Feedback I’m looking for

• Does the game feel good to play?

• Is the difficulty curve fair or just frustrating?

• Which mechanics should be expanded or removed?

• Any bugs or performance issues you notice

Thanks for playing and for tearing it apart constructively.

Note: Performance may dip on lower-end devices. I noticed some lag on my own system as well.
