SANDRIPPER
STRAP IN, PILOT!
You have one goal: Annihilate as many waves as you can!
You are the pilot of the SANDRIPPER, a dual-wielding hover tank. Push your nuclear engine to its melting point as you rip through wave after wave of a ruthless planetary invasion force.
EXPERIMENTAL FUN
Randomized waves, upgrades, and a partially destructible map create unpredictability to take advantage of. MULTI-FUNCTION weapons can synergise with upgrades to create the perfect annihilation machine.
Even your ENGINE is a weapon!
TWO DIFFERENT GAME MODES
ENDLESS MODE: Each day has a new leaderboard, and a new chance to see how far you can go! Highly random and highly chaotic. You are not expected to survive.
WEEKLY SEEDED MODE: If you don’t fancy randomness, every week a shared run is generated for all players. A predetermined sequence of weapons, upgrades, and harder waves with its own leaderboard to climb! A game mode that removes all randomness to let your raw skill shine.
TRY, DIE, REPEAT.
Hone your skills and discover more strategies with each 5-10 minute long attempt. Gradually increasing your capabilities until you become a master.

It's a great small but challenging game to bash your head against while listening to that 1 hour long youtube video that you can't watch normally because you have terrible attention span.
The combat has a bit of a learning curve and the game doesn't shy away from letting you know that you suck. (In a good way?)
plus its JUICY

best farming game I've ever played. Only real issue is lack of farming, this is made up for by being an entirely different game genre consisting of rogue lite and bullet hell elements. hope this review helps.

Every weapon is super punchy and I absolutely love the art style and sound design. Very easy to pick up and get into!

Its a fun arcade like shooter
Feels very much like Nuclear Thrown mixed with a survivor type game
There are a good number of unlocks for weapons and vehicle skins
The game has two main modes atm, Endless and a Daily run (Set Seed)
If you like weapon combos, upgrades, explosions and big numbers this is the game for you.

I'm really into games that I can play for both short & long bursts which keep me coming back because they are just pure fun without the need to think too hard.
Sandripper is perfect for this.
You can tell the (solo) dev who worked on this has really put in a crazy amount of effort.
Initially, I found it a little difficult to navigate the weapon/tank menus and get a grasp on the controls - but once it clicked, I found it easy to get used to. The core gameplay loop is really fun, upgrades are awesome and the chaos is spectacular. The dev also doesn't take the game too seriously, which you can see with the humour sprinkled throughout.
If I could give any feedback, I'd love to see some fleshed out / prettier upgrade cards - at the moment they are just basic drawings. I think the weapon descriptions/stats/information could be spaced out or have a clearer design to make them easier to read. I spotted a couple minor bugs too like some enemies just being grey Blender cubes lol.
Some background music (even if default royalty free), could be nice.
**None of what I mentioned is game-breaking, btw.
Overall - the game is VERY MUCH worth the price tag. If you're even slightly thinking about it, buy it. You will not regret it.
It's creative, fun and great to pass the time.
