WolverineSoft Studio presents:

Cellosseum is a bullet heaven following the progress of a lone cell as it battles a variety of enemies on its quest to guide the evolutionary process of life itself. From upgrading your attacks, shields, health, and speed, to understanding your role in the creation of life on the planet of Ceres Prime—will you create life from nothing, or will you be lost to the cold indifference of the galaxy.

The Lone Cell: Play as a cell on its quest to become the leader of evolution on Ceres Prime. Choose from a range of unique attack types that evolve the range, power, and type of projectile as you blast your way through enemies.

The Enemies: Life for a cell isn’t just about peacefully floating through the primordial soup—prepare yourself and your reflexes as you face off against challenging and unique enemies with varied attack characteristics such as: Edgelord, Snowflake, and Snuggle Bear.

Content: This game’s content includes a wealth of watercolor artwork, characters, and music that is completely scratch made. Float your way across beautifully stylized cellular landscapes while engaging with memorable hand-drawn characters.

Features: This game features an ability upgrade system for your character. Choose the evolutionary traits that you want to keep that suit your gameplay style.

WolverineSoft Studio

Cellosseum was created by 38 people at the University of Michigan's WolverineSoft Studio, a student games studio undertaking semester long projects. It is an educational case study of Chimeric's Nova Drift, and takes inspiration from its game mechanics as well as other games in the genre. Work on this project took place between May and August 2023.
