The lifeline is you
The machines took the city. The people trapped inside it have exactly one
way out — you.
LIFELINE is a fast-paced single-player twin-stick arcade roguelite.
Fight through neon streets and lockdown arenas, rescue civilians who fall
in behind you as a living convoy, and tear weapon components off the
robots you destroy to rebuild your gun mid-combat.
Two sticks. No buttons.
Move with one stick, aim with the other — your weapon fires while you aim.
That is the entire control scheme. Positioning is your only defense, which
keeps every dense swarm readable as a puzzle, not a reflex check. Every
attack is telegraphed; nothing kills you that you weren't shown.
Your gun is what you kill
Defeated robots drop cores, processors, and payloads. Three hot-swap
component slots combine into a single evolving weapon — components change
its behavior, not just its numbers, and swap instantly on pickup. No
menus, no pauses, no mercy.
The convoy is the stake
Every civilian you touch joins your column and raises your reward
multiplier — and every one of them can be lost. Extract what you've
saved, or press deeper for more? That choice is the whole game.
