Swordship

Swordship is a roguelike with a sharp central twist: you have no weapons, and dodging is your best weapon. Survival means evading attacks and tricking your enemies into killing each other in the crossfire.

The loop ties combat to a job. You steal containers and deliver them, then decide whether to spend that cargo on upgrading your ship or on improving your score. The two paths pull against each other, since a better-equipped ship and a higher score both draw from the same stolen goods.

Beating your best score and outmaneuvering your enemies unlocks new content and new ways to play. The whole thing settles into a tight rhythm of dodge, dive, die, learn and repeat.
