Homebrew32

About

Homebrew32 casts you as a tank with 1 to 5 barrels rolling through a computer’s motherboard. Shoot viruses in a top-down shooter where each run lets you collect points to tweak your upgrade system. Boss fights unlock new areas while a constantly shifting upgrade timer forces quick decisions. The chaos of managing limited resources and scaling threats creates a tense loop of trial and error. The game’s charm comes from its developer’s candid note about 12-language localization hurdles. Translations show obvious effort but lean on community corrections, a rare behind-the-scenes look at indie dev realities. With 78% of players on Steam reporting 5+ hours invested, the challenge of improving runs and tweaking systems keeps things engaging. No frills, just a tank, a keyboard, and a PC trying to kill you.

Storyline

In an attempt to share my project with as many people as possible I did my best with the tools I had to localize the game in 12 languages. I however do not speak 12 languages... So I ask you to have sympathy for my translations as they are an attempt to communicate with people from all over the world. I beg you to send me any changes or errors you might find, my goal is to make this game as good as possible. Thank you for reaching out! After being sucked into your PC by a mysterious antivirus, take control of a multi barreled tank to confront the bugs head-on. Navigate your way through the motherboard, battling boss viruses to unlock new zones. Keep an eye on the 'UPGRADE MACHINE', which bestows upgrades every 1-10 seconds. Accumulate points from previous runs to enhance the upgrade machine further and gain the upper hand in your fight against the digital threats.
