About the game

The Battle at Kemble's Cascade is a chaotic love letter to classic arcade shoot 'em ups. You pilot a spaceship through a scrolling battlefield, dodging asteroids, grabbing power-ups, and blasting everything in sight — including other players. Your ship's energy is a precious resource: it fuels both movement and shields, so every choice matters. Missions and a 'threat level' system keep tension high, while customizable upgrades make your ship stand out. Expect bullet hell, backstabbing, and the sheer joy of barely surviving against all odds.
