Idle Survivors

Idle Survivors is a browser game prototype by Chris Montgomery, mixing idle games with survivors-likes in the style of Vampire Survivors. Your hero moves and fights on its own through a 15-minute run: steer with WASD or the arrow keys, or hand the controls to the auto-move AI. Defeat the final boss to bank victory, then cash out or push into overtime — souls earned from bosses buy permanent upgrades between runs. Play it as pixel art or in 3D, and switch views at any moment.

How to play

  • Move with WASD, the arrow keys, or the touch joystick on mobile.
  • Pick one of three classes: Warrior (melee cleave), Mage (homing bolts), or Scout (fast arrows).
  • Collect XP orbs to level up and choose weapons, passives, and stat upgrades.
  • Press Tab to toggle the auto-move AI, F to change game speed, V to switch between the 2D and 3D views, Escape to pause.
