Code and DESIGN releases URANUS roguelite game

Tokyo-based developer Code and DESIGN has released URANUS — To Tomorrow’s Sky, a pixel-art rebound action roguelite game. The title is available on Steam, the Mac App Store, and Google Play for Android.

Set 19 years after the arrival of extraterrestrial life forms known as Mira, the game follows five high school students from Shirayagi High School who pilot combat mechs using alien technology. The gameplay combines brick-breaker mechanics with tactical squad formations, where players manage automated firing systems and move formations to catch and redirect projectiles.

Players can select three out of five available pilots for active deployment, while the remaining two provide support from headquarters. The game features 39 distinct projectile types and 22 passive upgrades, allowing for diverse tactical builds. Beyond combat, the narrative includes a ten-episode science fiction story focusing on the students' daily lives and school activities.
